I will be upgrading right after a sure-fire crack has been well-established... I mean, as soon as I save up enough money
My most compelling reason sto upgrade is the compatibilty and stability. I will be migrating from Windows 2000, So I already have the stability. My main concern is with the Driver and Application compatibilty. Any software companies that are still actively producing products are having to check thier products with XP to make sure it works, which mean that it WILL work eventually. Also, gone are the days of trying to find a Specific program or driver that will run on Windows ME, but not on Windows 2000. I hate that, with a passion. As far as new hardware support, I always run slightly behind the "new technology" curve due to costs, so my hardware is already completely supported with matured drivers. If the compatibility wasn't there, I seriously doubt I'd be moving from Windows 2000. If it works, then why mess with it? Sompe people are still stuck on NT 4.0 with SP6. Why? They like it, it works, and they don't need the additional "features" and overhead that Windows 2000 offers. I like it and can deal with the overhead, so I'm using 2000. In addition, I do plan on upgrading my 850 thunderbird to at least a 1.2 Thunderbird in conjunction with an upgrade to XP.
