I understand where you are coming from, I was a beta tester on XP for a year before it came out. So I am very acquanited with the program.
You are definately wrong about it being for old people and gamers, it can take a program that only runs on 98 and emulate 98 to run the program on xp. It has the best system restore program I have ever seen. Far surpases Adaptec's Go Back, you cannot crash XP...I have done everything possible to do it and it won't happen, it will just tell you to save your work and close the program.
The only real difference between XP and win2000 is the interface look...anything that runs on 2000 runs on xp.
By the way, it is fast as hell, I don't know where you came up with the idea it is slow. Look at he reviews, it has smoked everything. The authrorizations and permissions section, along with the netorking allocations are so simple, my daughter set up the home network, she is thirteen.
The TCP/IP setting are so simple a kid could set them up, try do that with 98...
I am not trying to talk you into XP, I just know all the MS programs inside and out and XP is solid and fast. I guess we will agree to disagree.
