Hello. I am part of a rather lively debate at my office. We are looking to
get 2 new computer systems and I want to get Window XP as it is much quicker
and is pretty much the standard these days. But the only other technically
adept person in our office insists that we stick with Windows 2000
Professional as she maintains that it is the much more stable OS for a
network environment. We currently have Windows Server 2003 Standard with 6
desktops running Windows 2000. At this point we don't have the money to
upgrade our existing stations to XP but since we are getting Dells and it
comes with the package I would like to get XP for the new computers. So
would we be sacrificing system stability for speed as my colleague maintains,
or is Windows XP now better suited to network environments than maybe it was
a couple of years ago, like I suspect it is? Any advice, information and
suggested helpful links would be appreciated. Thank you.
