My eyes are red from reading all kinds of articles on Win XP upgrades vs. W2K and all that jazz. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find one that feels like a "business" comparison ie. for the average business user who does not give a ding-dang about "look and feel" and multi-media because they have tons of work to do and they really just need the following:

- run Word/Excel maybe PowerPoint
- run some other business like software (custom VFP app of course or I would not get paid)
- does not crash, as they've got work to do
- make my printer generate lots of paper so I feel like I've done my work

Other than that, they really do not care that much about the interface. If it looks like Win98, fine.

Anyhow, I have not yet found a good comparison from a business standpoint. Surely there are corporations or consultants out there who have done a side by side comparison of these 2 OS's and whether they decided to upgrade to W2K or XP.
