The IT professionals I know still thrive on Windows 2000 and consider
XP to look "Fischer Price".



2K is certainly a stable OS, but it, too, has it's limits. Not being able to
do remote desktop is one of those limitations.


Win2K Server is now cheap enough to consider here; however terminal
services uses RDP 5.0 and is limited to 256 color display, but the
benefits gained from the stability of Win2K vs XP may prove decisive
to you.
