[pchelpers] avoid XP?-- was: when buying a new pc

hmmmm. everyone I know that installed ME, except one, had trouble with ME
and went back to Win98. ( 4 people out of 5, to be specific.)
I don't know anyone who has used XP yet, but the claims that accompany it
are that it will be wonderful! {It is suppose to eliminate the troubles
associated with sharing .dll's --- that was my favorite, of the claims I
read}

Why do you recomend staying away from it?

I need to know because Monday I have to choose between XP and win 2K. I am
using win2K now and I like it just fine, but if XP is better or 'just a
newer version of win2K' then I should try it.....

thanks for your feedback,

Agape, J. Setcer  Russellville, AR
