Win 2000 is aimed more at business and corporate users than your average home PC user. Most new software developed today, and in the past year have been written for XP.

As a side note on the whole Linux/Unix/Mac thing, Sir Kenyth was right on the money. No matter what OS you are using, somebody, somewhere will find a way to crack it. Unfortunately 99% of all hackers and losers in the world have decided to target Microsoft because their pi$$ed off that Bill Gates is a better business man.

If you keep your AV software up to date with the latest definitions, use Windows Update regularly and run a good firewall, you'll be fine. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: When was the last time someone got upset with Ford/Chev/Honda etc... because they had to take their car in for an oil change and a tune up?
