You do not indicate what sort of trouble you are fixing. Are they
messing up the applications, or is the OS getting corrupt? Are you sure
that there is not hardware failure causing corruption?

I prefer any version of NT over win9x for reliability. However, for
compatibility and appearance, Windows XP is probably better for most
users than win2k. Your machine is plenty fast to handle XP. Just my
thoughts.

I have a customer who I'd have to classify as 'difficult'.  18 months
ago, I built him a 1.4Ghz\256 DDR W98SE system.  Since then I've lost
track of the number of rebuilds and repairs I've had to do to keep it
running.  He, and his family, just keep breaking it.

I'm going to give it one last shot, but it's occurred to me that maybe
these people need an OS that'll take more of a hammering than W98SE
(like maybe an abacus)

So, what do you think?  Win2K? XP? NT?
