XP is what 2000 should have been, IMHO
I quite liked 2000 and stuck to it until it became difficult to find new software that ran on 2000. XP isn't too bad though.

I don't know what it's like in the UK now, but over here in the US, it's almost impossible to buy a new machine with anything but Vista on it. "Best Buy", the US equivalent of Dixons/PC World, couldn't/wouldn't even supply XP Pro on a separate disc.

I upgraded the machine with my old copy of XP Pro, then had all the hassle of finding drivers!

If it becomes difficult to find software than runs on XP, I won't be buying any new software.
