I'd actually have to say the Win2K Pro has been remarkably stable for me. I haven't had to rebuild my work computer in over 2 years, and I do some pretty hairy stuff on that at times.

OTOH, my home machine (also Win2K Pro) has been remarkably stable until the latest Windows critical updates ... or was it the new 4in1 drivers ... or maybe the new Highpoint 370 driver ... I just rebuilt my home machine - it was getting too cluttered - and some combo of the latest drivers, service packs, etc has caused a few bluescreens after windows update was run, etc ...
