W2K was a giant leap in reliability, stability and security from W9x/ME
series. Although I use WXP now, I could just as easily get by with W2K
at home or at work. Really the only significant improvement in WXP is
Remote Desktop/Remote Assistance and it can be substituted with VNC
packages. Even most older applications have a chance of running in
Compatibility Mode although that is not always reliable.
If your current OS meets all the requirements you have then all you
need worry about is security problems and compatibility with newer
websites. A dual boot system might be the answer for you.
