W2K is basically WinXP without the spyware. MS will try and scare people into XP, and soon into their even more invasive "next" OS. They want you to continue buying new (defective) OSs. I use Win95 (by choice) for 95% of my tasks. Not that I'm a big MS fan, its just that Win95 works fine, faster, and boots quicker than other MS OSs. MS does not like me, though. I don't keep shelling out $$$$ for every OS they unload on unsuspecting users.
You can't use windows 95 for most of the 3d apps though.
I know that Maya requires NT or 2k... Not that I use Maya.
BTW my computer is also loaded with XP Pro and Linux Slackware 8.
Linux Slackware 8 is the only OS, out of the 3 I use, that I boughtand payed for.
I kinda stopped paying for MS after I payed for Win98.
But now Win2k and XP restored my faith a bit, so I might pay for an XP pro license very soon.
Win 98 and I will keep it (no updates because I'm afraid of the new spying-technology from Microsoft that might be shipped with the next windows version).
