Hi Mike, I have only had 2 different operating systems, Windows 98 and WindowsXP. There is no comparison, XP is terific it is so much more stable I love it. About Vista it is called a"media" OS lots of graphics and eye candy your sighted sister would likely find Vista more amusing. But for all a round performance and reliability Windows XP is the best! I hope this helps you. Hears wishing you some great Holidays and great computing year-round. -- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <mb69mach1@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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 bebetter 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 ofthose 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.
