Windows 2000 is supported for another 3 years yet. I have an old laptop with a Celeron 500 and 64MB of RAM running Windows 2000 and it's amazing how well it runs - very stable. You can make Windows XP look identical to Windows 2000 by switching to classic windows desktop. I think it looks a lot better than the kiddie-looking XP default.
Since when? Case in point:

The recent update for the change in Daylight Savings Time. Guess which fix would NOT work with Windows 2000 machines?

I thought I heard that Win2K (on SP6 or so, now) was declared to be at the end of its support life. If you can get decent support and drivers for Win2K, by all means, go for it.

It's more stable than XP, and actually faster, because of the lower overhead. I'm think of actually going BACK to Win2K, just to see if Tradestation will run any faster or smoother with it.
