XP vs 2K
Ok I have just decided I need to buy another copy of an OS.
I am currently on 2K pro and it seems to be fine but a bit slow and MS is going to stop supporting it and I don't like the sound of that much. Is XP any better? Faster? More Flexible? How long are they going to support it? and what the heck is this HUGE emoticon?

Technically, XP is a larger program and would/could run a bit slower than Win2k. Can't say that I'd spend $150.00+ bucks to upgrade unless I needed XP for something in paticular.

Thanks for the input Ezy... Would you get XP if you were going to buy a OS anyway?

I'd get XP without hesitating.
