Windows 2000 Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter are
continuations of Windows NT Professional, Server and Enterprise
Edition. Windows ME is a half assed attempt to satisfy those poeple who
are scared of NT or do not want to shell out quite that much money.

I only had to reinstall my OS once after I had a disastrous crash (the cause of which I'm still not sure, but I think it might have been some SCSI conflict) after which my machine wouldn't even mount the hard drive (Norton Utilities saved my ass, btw).
My 98 machine crashes about once every few weeks, my Win2k Adv. server
crashes witht he same frequency as my Solaris machines. I make it a rule
to re-gen my 98 box every year for optimal performance and stability.
