From my experience, WinXP is faster than Win2k. I can also say that if you take off the Luna interface it runs even faster, not by much though. I have installed it on about 20 machines, and were talking about ten different types of hardware, including Laptops. I have only run into one problem, which with fixed with a bios update from dell. I agree that it is more bloated than Win2k, and the others, but who in their right mind would try to install XP, or even 2k on a machine with sub 128MB and a 500mhz processor. Those people should stick to Linux or Win(crash)9X, and leave Microsoft alone about their new baby. Either that or fork out the $300 and get yourself a Thunderbird 1.2Ghz/Motherboard combo with a half gig of ram and bring yourself into the modern world. What else does the Monopoly have to do to satisfy all of the people they assimilate? They did a damn good job with 2k which is rock solid, and XP is even better with more compatibility. For once they have put out a stable release. I hate the registration thingy though. Nothing a little crack cant fix.
Anyways, that is my two cents, and "LET THE FLAMES BEGIN!"

You have to crack the case to solder a wire to a point, but you don't need a modchip
