you're complety wrong there... ME is 98 SE with the look (and only the look, no features) of 2000 and without the msdos layer, what makes it very crappy.

If I were you, I'd take 2000 (supposing you don't like XP).

Go windows 2003.... crash proof... well almost i've crashed it once but that was my fault... i used ME once blue screen every hour or so... dodgy and a half.. when i migrated to 2000 it was like a godsend

I've had a blue screen of death only once on my ME, moving to 2000 would pretty much mean loosing all my stuff so atm im happy with ME but on my new computer its obviously going to come with XP so im guna just have to get used to it. Whats the new windows and whens it coming..?

Well the newest official windows is Windows 2003 which is a beefed up XP with functions such as Enhanced Internet Explorer Security. However the next version that is coming is the almighty Longhorn which in its current specifications looks to be a monster of an OS (its a resource hog) but then again so were the beta Whistlers...

i like the mac themes.. they look professional and plain.. i think they're wicked

Windows Server 2003 . It's not meant for desktop usage.

lol soooooorry Kryptonate... imma not perfect eehehe
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition is what i've got... no idea what the differences between versions are though....
On another note any clue as to how to get longhorns sidebar? I've tried two alternatives... a active desktop thingo.. and desktop sidebar... both are buggy...
