Could be.

I have an old laptop that's stuck on W2K/SP2 because everytime I've tried to update it, it just screws up. Good thing I don't use that one much anymore. I did try to upgrade it to XP once, but I can't get the network drivers to work with the no-name network card I've got. Even the no-name XP driver doesn't recognize their own card, but W2K works fine.
