"No. Building on the innovation and rebustness of Windows 2000, the need to

If you've ever seen Windows 2000 and Windows XP... You'll notice XP is just a 
dumbed (way) down version of 2000.

My friend had Mac OS X and Windows XP running side by side (same desk) 
yesterday... Mac OS X is very sexy :).  XP is... lame.  Completely different 
attitude between the two.
