I would agree with that totally!! I use to run w2k until I discovered windows xp pro... Let me tell you it does everything plus more that w2k does... You can monitor your network from the os itself!! I am still looking...

UPDATE:
  Ok here is some of the security end of things for the SP2 release.. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0104.mspx as fars as individual fixes i think that it is going to be just about impossible to see each one... There are going to be some many due to the fact that so many things have been exploited on this os...  My guess is that most of the networking will have a fresh face and have some new toys that everyone can use.  It looks like the official release date for SP2 is going to be July 21st 2004... This doesnt mean that it is going to be that day though... Expect slow servers and long lines when this one comes out... This patch has been in beta testing for some time now so it should be really close to perfect... At least microsoft is trying to get it right I hope PCMAG puts out a special edition so that I dont have to download it...  I dont think I can stand downloading something at less than 50kbs... Think about it like <75% of the world uses microsoft products.  And i would guess that most have windows xp.. Atleast 90% of the computer shipped in the past 3 years have had xp on them so every single one of those people is going to want to get this file on their computer... hey maybe cable would be cool enough to download the file and host it so that we can get premium access and not have to wait in long lines...  That would be sweet as hell...  I guess only time will tell how this is all going to work out...

that would be very nice!!  It would be the beta version but hey that is better than nothing...
