This topic came just in time for me. I am debating whether to get XP or 2k. Right now im on Windows 98 and I am getting sick of it. I have win2k( not installed ), win98. Should I overwrite 98 or just put 2k on another partition.

win2k is blatantly better

You should overwrite. Especially for gaming, running apps in 2k isnt a hassle as it once was with incompatabilities. I am just sick of the "kiddy" appearance of XP(though i know u can change it) and it takes a lot of my resources. I first had 2k installed, then overwritten to XP, but now I am going back, because I dont see any major reason(s) to stay with XP.

...amen to that.
