Understandable,  I work with the stuff everyday.  Problem is the newer the os 
the less compatable it is with older programs. Win2k and XP are like trying 
to run win 3.1 programs on win 98.  Some work some don't. Shows it age.  
Windows XP is just now getting straighten out with Nvidia chips,  but still 
has a long way to go with 3D video acceleration. However, XP seems to be the 
most stable of them all at this point.

I run a dual boot system with Win XP in NTFS format and SuSE Linux on the same 
machine.  Works great!!

ps.....Still no windows version comes close to stability when it comes to 
Linux. :-)
