Win2k is actually pretty stable. The biggest drawback is you don't have a Win2k Server running to authenticate your workstations. Since there is no server, when adding a Win2k PC to a NON W2k domain/network. Windows 2000 professional begins to look for the AD (Active Directory) and usually takes a LONG time.

Have you considered upgrading all of the PC's to Win2k?
