The one good reason I can think of for running Windows 2000 is if you
have more computers than Windows licenses. W2K lets you break the law,
XP does not.

XP will supposedly quit working if it goes a certain amount of time
without connecting to Microsoft to confirm your registration. Which
can be a problem if you don't connect your computer to the internet.
You know, like if it's a special-purpose machine in a recording studio
or on the Space Shuttle.

I'm sure this subject has been discussed before. I'm just curious if there's
any reason to use Windows 2000 over XP anymore. Everything seems to be
directed towards XP now. Toutorials, drivers and whatnot. I guess I'm asking
if absolutely everything that says XP works 100% with Windows 2000 too. Any
give and take factors I should be aware of in this evaluation?
