IMHO, if it isnt broke, don't fix it. If your not having problems with it currently, then don't add problems trying to update it. When you have a specific _need_ then I would start to look at my options.

1 box, XP Pro, 7 boxen Win2K. If you kill all the damn bloatware crap running by default Micro$oft threw into XP it's just as good as 2K.

WinXP Pro SP1 on home computers; Win2K Pro SP2 on office machines. Nearly seven months away from home, and not one problem at all with the OS on either machine.

I seem to have the opposite with ME, I always found it was fine, and now a mate of mine is going BACK from XP Pro to ME because its MORE STABLE, that and it boots in like 3 seconds.

Ive only ever used Win ME once, and by that I mean for 5 minutes to install something for a client.

I 'umbly write to you from an (original) win98 machine.

I'm currently making an "embeded type" o/s for a dedicated standalone DAW using 98SE core (with major file/reg stripping) a 95 explorer and certain ME file upgrades. I'm doing this via 98lite Preview and a slew of other freeware progs.

BTW why no ME in the poll?

Will it be a lightweight OS?

It's already below 40MB and I think I can trim about 6MB more. One impressive thing is how fast it is on the Explorer and boot up but I need more information to strip it.

The main thread on my project is here:

Sheesh a lot of XP users nowadays...
I run dual boot 98/2K Pro but I haven't touched 98 in a while so I might do a format and get rid of it.

http://cgi.www.wimborne.org/cgi-bin/...s_on_a_floppy/

It spounds intriguing but I have to draw the line at a pure 16bit o/s I need my 32 bit. Here's something in the same area (floppy disk o/s):

A 32 bit GPL o/s
