Name a windoze version that isn't - on both accounts!  There is 
absolutely nothing in 2K to make more virus prone than eXPee - that's 
down to virus software.  If anything, as 2K is now so old, most malware 
producers are concentrating on eXPee or Vasta.

How is XP better than 2K securitywise?  The so-called firewall isn't! 
That's the end of it really.  M$ send out all the security patches for 
2K just the same as eXPee, only you never have to contend with WGA.

Is this some new use of the word "enjoy" which I've never heard of 
before?  ;-)
