Is there any "good" improvents over NT? I know that it boots at least 2 times faster, but is there anything else? I am too lazy to find out myself. :p

In reward, I shall grant you a ftp that has XP 2520 Pro that you can download. How's that for a reward? :D ;) :p

eh, it's working out pretty good so far. No real differences I notice vs. when I was running win2k server, or pro.

Runs all my programs and games fine, nice and stable too.

The remote management is cool, but I havent got a chance to use it yet.

All in all, I'd stick with win2000, at least until the final release of XP comes out.

One thing I did notice, is that my internet download speeds are slower, and that's after I used the win2k patches also. Before, in win98/2000 I'd get anywhere from 100-200KB stable, now it's anywhere from 50-150 stable.

I like WinXP, but like Dr. D said. web browsing is way to slow for my taste.

So... It decreases your web speed? :( Is it after the Cablenut tweak installed or before?
