I know about the "Traditional Look" feature of XP ... but it definitely is not the same as 98/2000.

It's not as different as the default XP, but certainly still a chore to wade through (for me at least).

Just look at the Find/Search in XP. It's a mess with the most likely choice down in the middle of the list.

Look and feel is one thing, but I was searching for comments on compatibility with older software, etc.

I have to use ancient DOS-based software that only understands LPT1, etc. XP allows aliasing network printing with "net use LPT1 <network printer path>". Does 2k offer this feature? I guess I should have stated my interests better.

Any other comments?
