I also installed SP-1 with no problems. I have found WinXP to be my favorite MS OS so far, although Win2000 is also stable.

I agree. I have Win2000 Professional running on a 500 MHz Gateway laptop that has run 24/7 for a year without a hiccup. Only restarts are when necessary after downloading OS or program updates.

Both Win2000 and XP are much more stable than Win/me in my experience.
