I have never liked XP so I have stayed with Win 2K. I get about 2 years out of it and then I reformat and reinstall it too.

I also do all 5 things you do wilcopshot to maintain my system and when it is time to reformat all I have to do is copy the My Documents folder to the other HD, export my Outlook 2000 PST, rules and accounts and export my IE favorites.

After the reformat and install I update the OS patches and reinstall my other software then copy everything back in.
