New Norton Killer Available

So, what are the differences between 2000 and XP? Besides all the Christmas tree lights and bells?

ACPI that finally works properly? Volume Shadow Service? Basic firewall/ICF? Defragmenter support (instead of defraggers hacking the kernel to hook themselves up)? Prefetch? Remote Desktop? Remote Assistance? System Restore? Cleartype? Hibernate? Hot docking? New start menu (more than a skinned old menu)? New image preview and zip file handling? CD burning? Wireless Zero Config? Network bridging? UPnP? Automatic updates? Fast user switching? Faster boot times (and bootvis)? Far better deployment tools? Better IE security since SP2? Driver rollback? Better GPO settings? x64 version (and MCE and Tablet versions and embedded too)? Improved memory management? Improved SMP kernel? Redesigned registry and config subsystem (faster, uses less memory, mostly lockfree)? DEP/NX support (so won't run buffer overflow exploits on stack)? Better application compatibility? Improved command line tools (like net use) and new ones (such as openfiles or eventquery), or even just improved apps whose looks haven't changed so people don't notice (like notepad, or new calc that's more accurate)? Etc.

I hate it when people pretend it's just win2k with a new skin and activation. It's FAR more than that. A LOT of stuff has changed. I'd never go back to win2k...

Wow, you were taking my post seriously; it was mend as a joke . Most of the crap I just kick out any way with nLite . I agree with you on XP, let´s see what Vista brings when it´s gold...
