I would like a few thoughts on a matter, (not a debate), for a office that is getting ready to purchase (14) new PC's. The office will be on peer-to-peer network with a few apps such as Goldmine running from a storage PC. They want all the systems to have the same operating system from the work stations to the storage system (server). They will use either Win2K or XP. I would like a few thoughts as to what would be best to use. Thanks.
Well alright, here we go again: Windows XP Pro tuned for business (i.e. de-homed) for it's better stability and hardware support.
There isnt even a question Win XPPRO is a better operating system then 2K. I have run both and even though I was partial to win2k XP PRO is way better
XP Pro.
Thank you all for the answers. I will advise my client.

Actually I can get w2k for the PC's ordered. You might want to check THIS out.Quote:
