What is funny about it is bath tubes are completely different than software and it makes the argument almost void. For instance, an operating system completely changes and adds functions with each version/does performance changes/tweaks. Bath tubes continue to perform the same functions and, although they sometimes add new features, they don't really change the core function. Windows 7 has done many changes, helped productivity, and has even added features/function to help make everyone's life easier. It is completely different than 2000. That, and it is far more stable than 2000.

Hey, hey, hey, you could re-route the piping of the bath tub.
And in the case of windows 7; you can put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig.

I don't expect asinine comments from you Jerone. However, you just made one. Read up on what makes windows 7 a decent operating system before you post bullshit. Here is an excellent article to start with: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/2d-windows-gdi,2539.html
It's not all about glitter and gloss. It's about compatibility (especially with hardware) which is mainly the reason why a lot of companies are dropping windows 2000 support. Frankly, it's inferior framework is not being supported by the manufacturers of hardware (read graphics cards, audio cards, etc). You just won't be finding any more updates to drivers for the legacy systems like that. Not to mention Microsoft has official stopped support for Win 2K for well over two years now. Valve doesn't want to jump through hoops to write legacy software rendering because the available win2k hardware drivers refuse to support their features.

Thank you finally a few people making sense. Totally agree though. Xp is crap compared to 7. I have never had to reinstall once either. Xp I did way too many times
