I have it installed on my 2.9-year old Athlon whitebox. I have it installed in a Parallels VM under Mac OSX. And, yes that is legitimate as my license states: "2 copies". Why pay for XP when all it will get me is eye candy (annoying eye candy at that)? I am considering upgrading my Parallels VM to XP only so I can run IE 7 which I will soon need for testing websites that I build. Otherwise, I would stay with IE 6 and 2000 "forever". ,dave I have a legitimate license for Windows 2000 Pro.

But for an "occasional" gamer whose software system requirements are met with his current hardware, I don't see why XP would be any advantage. My current 2 year old installation works fine. Even if I were to reinstall Windows 2000 Pro yet again, the process of updating would not be "sickening" as you stated...all that's required is broadband (which I have) and part of an afternoon.

I'll bet the main reason you are "sticking" with Windows 2000 is because you have an incredibly old installation, or don't have a legit copy of XP, otherwise I can't see any reason one would install 2000 now. There are plently of things that annoy me about XP too. <a href="http://paininthetech.com/6_windows_xp_annoyances_fixed" rel="nofollow">Here are the fixed to 6 things that annoy me about XP</a>.

My computer is a single user computer and doesn't need any networking stuff. I also don't like the way things like Messenger, WMP and IE are shoved down my throat. This is just skimming the surface of my complaints about XP. If Millennium Edition was a stable as XP and could handle the same maximum file size, I would still be using it.

Win2000 Pro runs far more efficiently for me on this PC, very rarely ever having a problem. XP was a resource hog, even if shutting down unnecessary services via service.msc and msconfig settings. Unfortunately I'm running into limitations already... as an example, the very latest version of MSN Messenger requires you to have XP. But my installed version (7.0) still works fine.
