I agree wholeheartedly, im running win2k advanced server and i'll never go 
back...the amount of control you have over your system is far more superior 
to that of win9x engines and much more stable (provided you do thave at least 
256mb ram, i just upgraded to 450mb-ram is ASS cheep right now so i suggest 
you buy some)....Regular Win2k is almost just as good as what i'm running but 
you don't need 256mb ram to run it smoothly-so if you arent networking this 
one is for you...The only issues i've ran into with Win2k is that computer 
companies not supporting it with their drivers and firmware-which isnt MS's 
fault...get pissed at yourself for buying a "Best Buy Superstore" consumer 
grade machine, and at the company who makes the box for not supporting it-not 
microsoft....

WinMe is *CRAP* this is where the industry is going to seperate your grandma 
from the real (and even decent users) It is going to continue degrading 
itself until it's like the Toys'R'Us OS....Internet explorer is no longer 
going to be developed for this thread of OS WinMe will be using MSN Explorer 
instead *shudders*.....Internet Explorer is going to only be available for 
Win2k engines....WinXP is going to be pretty cool because they are getting 
rid of the 3D buttons and all that crap so that will free up a small bit of 
resources and stuff as far as graphics go-it sounds like it will be ugly, but 
it's not too bad actually, i've used "Windows Whistler Advanced Server"-the 
beta version of WinXP, we have it in our studio, it actually doesnt look too 
bad should be a cool thing-the only concern I have is that supposedly you 
will only be able to use this OS if you have a constant connection to the 
internet-and it looks for it's product key when you install it-if it's on 
another machine it says "nope, don't think so, i've already been installed on 
another machine"....I have my doubts in how effective this will be in both 
the legit and warez worlds *shrugs* we'll see how it goes...
