I have just passed the NT 4.0 Workstation test (just before the deadline) and I am about to start on the 2000 track. The people at this forum seem to know quite a bit about XP & I am wondering if I am doing the right thing by getting a full MCSE in 2000, or should I just get a MCP in 2000 & wait for the XP certification tests to come out? Does anyone think that XP will eventually become a full replacement for 2000?
 
So far I have an A+, CNA, and a MCP in NT 4.0.

Average home user who would have bought WinME 6 months ago and Win98 a year ago are not going to have dual CPU's in their system.
Personal edition of WinXP is exactly what they need.
Cheapest version, made nice and simple and no support for a 2nd CPU.
If your using two CPU's on your system then you will be using Professional, so OK you have to, but even if Personal did support 2 CPU's you wouldn't be able to cope with the 'dumbed down' version of this OS.
