It is pretty damn stable, after using ME and 2k, i really like its better on gaming for me than 2k yet is is based on 2k not ME crap. I have a via board and 2k was really bad with stock drivers, and XP doesnt let me use most of the good 2k drivers, but its own drivers work very nice this time around!

I like the new theme/look to it though u can change it back, multi tasks much better with its start button and of course manages ram better than the 9x series.

If i can get a deal on the price i'll buy it, only cuz i like owning my own OSes.

Yes XP is really cool this time around. Except for forced registering of course. Anyway to answer your question, you can pay $10.00 and download the Beta 2 Preview from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/ although I only recommend it if you have a high speed connection.
