I just got an email from my computer science professor telling me about the MSDN academic alliance. Basically we get the CD iso's for all the development tools (ie visual studio .NET, visio, and other such tools) plus the XP and win2k OS's for free. Now I have a question Ive been running win2k pro for a long time and its just great but Im kinda tempted to change to XP should I do this or would I be kicking myself if i did.
