Hi mike,

My best advice wil be not to use Ms products (specially OS) untill they come
really stable (rare but happen sometimes.)

So i advise you to use 2000 pro or server edition (if you have the chance to
choose), which is the most stable that i used.

I didn't even touch ME or XP since now! Better wait 2-3 years to really use
it.

Good luck.
PS: I heard that XP has a recovery system, which make you retun to the last
stable moment of your computer, but as i told you i never used it.
