I just upgraded from Win2K to XP. I think you are right, for purely trading
purposes if you are happy with your Win2K setup there is not much reason to
change. However, I do find XP boots more quickly, the interface is better,
it is more compatible with older software, and it installs new hardware a
lot more easily. I have Win2K and ProSuite on one box and don't plan to
change that, and XP and TS 6 on another box that also runs many other
applications, and I am very happy I upgraded that one.
