XP is awesome for not glitching most of the time when you remove and install USB stuffs, and is solid for connecting to wireless networks. It's not at all stable or capable of maintaining wireless networking, but if you've rebooted within the last two hours it's ------- awesome for getting connected within three clicks.

People knock on ME, but it was a close second to Windows 2000 Server for stability in my experience. I ran it for a year and a half of solid net whoring with no reinstalls and a reboot every 3-4 days.

XP is the best thing that is out there for your average user. It has the most compatiblilty I have seen. You can go with a 2000 server edition, it isn't bad, but not as nice looking.

You can wait for the new one to come out.

Vista was annoying as ---- mostly because half the stuff I use won't work on it. Looked fancy though...

I would use XP, it really hasn't given me too many problems.

Bittorrent.

Vista is bloated. Gigs worth of OS, all aimed at media copyrighting.

Hey, I just got the P4 I've been cheaping out on running. 2.0 Ghz processor, currently at 2.1 Ghz and climbing!

If you want the most stable microsoft os then go windows 2000 professional. If you need easy user interface ---- and better multimedia support grab xp. Either way your files will be transfered over, windows doesn't delete saved data when you upgrade your installation. The easiest way to find the cheapest price, without illegally downloading, is to get a friend of yours who is a student or pay some random student to buy a copy for you (unless you're lucky enough to know a microsoft employye then it is all about the employee store).

I believe microsoft cranked out win 2k as fast as possible because of the law suits saying they had a monopoly and had to show their compeitors the build files of one of theirs os's.

any upgrade of windows (aside from service packs) are junk.

d/l partition magic.
make a new partition and put all your MP3's, Pics, Porn etc etc on that partition.

install a clean install of windows on the other partition
using the partition program, merge both into 1 partition and you're done.
