Both Omega 4 and Omega 2000i work great on WinXP.
I think that WinXP includes all patches from the existing service packs for
Win2000 and NT4.0.
Built-in firewall and time synchronization, great memory handling and
garbage collector, correct handling of 16-bit code of Omega 4 (even in the
hang-up situations), etc etc etc...
Plus ability of "driver roll-back" - great feature for those who has any
kind of non-standard hardware and needs to experiment with different
versions of the same driver.
