I disagree. There are some good features in XP and win2k is Slooooow. I
booted a w2k machine up the other day and was reminded just how amazingly
slow it was.

I definitely find 2K faster on the *same* hardware. Easy enough to time,
using Virtual PC.

Try it on a real PC.

Life's too short. Anecdotally, when I wipe a 2K box, and install XP, it *seems*
slower. I'll have to try it the other way around, someday, just to self-validate.
