I have Windows 98SE on an older laptop that I use for a midi interface and
sequencer for the keyboards. It runs fine, but I haven't used it on the
'Net for a long time. The other computers, (this one on the boat) and my HP
both run XP.

I am no computer guru, but XP Pro has been the most stable Microsoft OS
since Windows 3.1, in my experience.

I run XP Pro on my primary laptop because it came that way but all of
my other machines run Win2K. I've probably overlooked a few but there
are only two things about XP that I perceive to be an improvement:
The image/slideshow viewer, and the network "repair" function.

Vista? Who needs it. Maybe after SP3 or so.

IrfanView has a great slideshow/image viewer, and does well at small
changes to images. It's still free.
