	Because of a protracted service issue with my old Dell laptop, I have just 
been bestowed with a new/refurbished Dell laptop with WindowsXP on 
it.  Dell gave me a lot more than I expected, actually.

	But anyhow, I had just upgraded to Win2000, and was planning to install it 
on the replacement laptop.  But before I go to all that trouble, I was 
wondering if there are any good reasons to leave XP as it is.  Do the pros 
outweigh the contras?  I'm looking for a technical appraisal; I know there 
are some expert opinions available on this list.

	Note:  this is not a revival of the Win/Linux debate.  In either case I am 
repartitioning the drive and plan to attend the Geek'n'Eat Installfest on 
May 11.  Mandrake is in my future.

        W2000 vs. XP.  Which is better for the laptop?  Thanks in avance.
