Where I worked last, we had Windows 2000. It worked excellent. However, after I left, the company switched to Windows XP... and I heard a number of people had to switch back to 2000 due to problems with XP. First question - is Win 2000 generally better than XP?

Currently where I work I was given a perviously used Sony Vaio, that is only a year old. It seems to have enough memory and processor speed, but it runs slow. I have tried defragging, shutting down extra Windows services, ect, still, it runs slooow. Like when I go to the desktop, it can take awhile and I see the icons being recreated. Other times I switch to a new window or desktop and it just sits there.

I have noticed other employees with Sony Vaios here at work complain their computer freezes alot [to me it appears their computer just go into a temporary freeze]. Desktops with XP seem to do better here than the Vaios.

Any ideas?
