Advantages: Looks nicer, Few updated things, Better Drivers

Disadvantages: Expensive, Home edition is locked out of some things

Windows XP is a very bad operating system. While it is a huge leap from 98 and ME, what wouldn't be!

All Microsoft has done has took Windows 2000 (and also they are rumored to have 'stolen' FreeBSD code to add more stability) and made it easier for new users to use. They have improved the games support, updated some features and added a tellitubies theme.

Windows 2000 is much cheaper (you will be able to find it for very little on eBay or such auction sites) and if you wanted a theme, download a modified uxtheme.dll and install any theme you want.

Microsoft has also made this a requirement for getting a good deal for OEMs, so you will find few PCs that aren't bundled with it. Another one of MSs many lockins.

The big problem with XP is that you buy a new computer equipped with it, and find that (in spite of mega-incresaes is speed and memory), the new 'puter is slower and crashes more that your old pentium with W95!!! One of my friends removed XP from his 2 gig Pentium and istalled W98 - found it suits his purcpose and is mega-quick.
