I only kept up with it because of my work at the time. I currently run Windows 2000 on this very PC - it's the one that has the scanner on it that Linux does not yet recognise....yet (it's coming). I have an XP disk.....it's atrocious.
My ThinkPad came with XP, so I shrunk the partition and installed Linux. I agree XP is bad, though ME is worse. XP's biggest problem is the user interface is so dumbed down, that it gets in the way. As I understand it, W2000 was the "best" (for lack of a better word <g>) version of Windows.
What's really amazing is that companies use Windows for servers and then wonder why the servers fail!
Mayhap it's because it seems that Windows sets up easy but is a bear to maintain, but Linux is bear to set up and less problematic (IME) to maintain. "If it's that hard to set up, what do I have to do to keep it running?", and MS feeds that fear.
