NP man. I tried 2k, but I started longing for XPs easier to set up networking so I dropped it. I think you will like XP though. They have pretty well got the bugs ironed out of it. I am running Vista right now, and while it is not bug free yet, it is easily bearable for me. The only real problem I have ran into is it is incompatible with my favorite firewall(Comodo), which is going to change at the first part of June.
