RE: OT: Office XP -worth it?

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

Apart from that its stable?

I took part in the Corporate Preview Programme for Win 2k, but the current
programme is only open to the US and Canada residents. With a bit of luck
Microsoft will send me a mailer on it before long (I'm registered with them
as a systems integrator). It will make a change from the anti-piracy flyers
that seem to arrive about once a month.

I'll be interested to see the differences between the "Home" and
"Pro"
versions of XP, having run NT and W2k for a good few years now, I think
I've
been spoiled, and the home version may be a little cut down for me.

How does it compare to W2k, which in itself was a massive step up from NT4?

Tim.
