Which two Windows OSes for dual boot (poll inside)?

[RSMemphis]

I am currently using 2k and 98 in a dual boot setup, which performs quite nicely. 2k is my main OS, and I use 98 whenever 2k does not run something properly.
I was wondering if I should upgrade one of the two to XP, but it seems like XP does not do much more than 2k, and XP is still less compatible than 98.

BTW, I use freebsd for certain things, but I just don't like unix derivatives for my computer at home. So Linux etc. is not an option in this poll.

I think if everything is working, I would leave it alone (unless you already have a copy of XP to put on).
W2K is quite stable after patches, etc. Also, certainly leave Windows 98 alone, especially, like you said,
for apps/games/whatever that won't run on W2K/XP.

Just like the previous post says, why bother if everything is working? Is there something in particular in WinXP (feature/task) that you cannot accomplish with your existing OS'?

i would leave it as it is. unless you *need* to upgrade.

Personally, I dual-boot 98SE/XP Home...Only because I never owned Win 2K. Since you allready have a 2K/98 setup, there is really no reason to upgrade(?) to 98/XP as 2K will pretty much do anything that XP can do, and what it can't (unsupported apps,some games), you have 98 for.

Yeah, I got a copy XP professional that I haven't used (got it at Microsoft thingy, it's an academic version)... Thanks for the advice, I think I will leave it as is for now.

Thanks everyone.
