It may be a lot better than WinME, but it still runs out of resources when you run simultaneously such things as ChessAssistant, Internet Explorer, Word, and Fritz (as an example), not to mention anything that uses Java. I'm totally convinced I made a mistake and should have just gotten Win2000 from the get-go. So I've decided to upgrade ... but figure WinXP is the best choice at this moment (although a bit more risky since I'll be using a pre-release version -- but one that's been reviewed as very stable).
