I run XP on my desktop, Win2k Server on my laptop, and Linux 2.5.15 on another desktop. I've used XP Server on the same laptop with no problems, but needed a Win2k Server environment, and that's why my desktop now runs XP. As a dev. platform, XP is fine, I just kill all the themes so it looks almost identical to Win2k. (There are plenty of sites out there that give you tips on speeding up any Windows OS.) As far as power management: never had a problem. Works like a charm.:wtf: -- ian
