    I'm seriously considering running 2000 instead of xp on some of my computers. 2000 is basically xp minus all the effects. do you guys think i'd be stupid for doing this. i disable a bunch of crap on xp any ways for more performance so what would be different in just running 2000?

    2000 is the same basic platform as xp ...minus bells and whistles AND drivers.

    Haven't found it to be "more" stable than xp ...if you keep xp "clean".

    Just remember ...it isn't the safety of the vehicle...it's the driver.:) :)

    W2k has less security features, is slightly more prone to infection.

    I like Tim's last post:
    At least W2k doesnt need Activation





    XP is more efficient, Boots Faster, performs tasks faster by average of 25%

    Dont Try to kid your self that W2k is better, cause it aint
    From a performance stand point W2k is a step backwards:rolleyes:
