Yes, we much prefer Win2kPro and have seven machines running it
without any issues. I don't quite see why Microsoft introduced XP when
they had a pretty good system in Win2kPro, but there are future
licensing matters that are going to be a possible problem for XP users
eventually if they get their way, and Win2kpro will probably be
dropped after a few more years.
