I have both on different machines. I like Win2K better than XP for some
reasons, mostly familiarity, but also that I have all the drivers I need
and I don't need to buy the next version of something to be XP
compatible.

As far as XP goes, it seems to be stable and it for sure boots and shuts
down faster. It's bigger and has the latest features, so eventually
you'll probably go there anyway.

You can have both, but the apps will be installed on one or the other,
they won't share the registry. I suppose you could install each twice in
separate directories. If Windows itself won't accommodate dual boots, I
know that Powerquest Partition Magic has a multi-boot feature that you
can install.

Good day:

I have one HP pc running on winXP Home edition and
another HP pc running on win2000 Professional edition.

I would like to keep to a common OS, and I would like
to solicit opinions as to whether I should standardise to
one OS or the other ?

Can both OS's be on one machine ?
