I believe 2000 is no longer supported by Microsoft, so I would suggest XP Pro if she wants to continue receiving updates and so on. There is no sound reason I can think of not to use SP3. If she chose SP2, she will continually get nagged to update, newer updates won't work, and she might as well stick with Windows 2000.

Hi Everybody; My sister is currently running Windows 2000 Professional for her operating system. Would she be better off switching to XP Pro? If she would be better off switching to Xp Pro, should she try to get SP2 or SP3? She does not use any screen reading programs or magnification programs, she is one of those so called "normal " people. If Xp would be better for her I would like to find it for her for Christmas. She is an extremely avid computer user. All information and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much. Have a great weekend and take care.
