Yep.  My rule of thumb is that it takes 18 months from initial release
to produce enough patches, fixes, service packs, and utilities to make
a new OS release usable.

Huh?  I run a few weather stations on W2K SP4.  Totally stable with no
surprises.  Yes, I do install updates as they appear.  One nice thing
about W2K is that it will install and run with 256MB of RAM.  XP
started out being ok with 512MB, but after numerous improvements and
updates, it now requires 1GB to be usable.  Windoze 7(32bits) seems to
want 2-3GB (3.5GB Maximum for 32 bit), while most 64bit systems are
being shipped with 4GB.  I would say the most annoying issue
introduced with XP is the memory consumption.

Dunno.  Most of my Vista customers have either downgraded to XP long
ago, or desperately installed Windoze 7 fairly recently.  Both are
viable solutions.  It might be possible to make Vista work well, but I
haven't tried very hard.
