Personally, I'm looking forward to Win 2K. I've posted this information before, so I won't re-hash it. However, it does look like some serious problems (such as DLL compatibility) have addressed in such a manner that they'll be a thing of the past. Of course, I'm sure it'll introduce some new ones, especially with some older applications< g >.
