JB>Is w2kpro better than wxp?

It's probably safer to say that it's different.  By most accounts, WXP is to
W2K as W98 was to W95 - a lot of the same with that latest fixes and some new
features.

I have some concern with some of these features, extending MS' reach into an
ongoing money-making venture for each feature you use.  MS wants to charge a
fee for each e-biz thing you do that's part of the OS (digital pictures comes
to mind - send it off to some company for printing, say, and MS charges it's
own fee).  To me, that's not a function of the OS.  I want an OS to enable me
to do something.  If I do business using it, I'm doing business with one other
company.  I don't want to pay a "freight" charge for simply using the service.

Right now, the only thing that would make me go to XP instead of W2K that I
use now would be a new computer that preloads it...
