The host I use at work is win2k. We have bought our _first_ XP host last
week. I don't know any company which choose XP over 2000. XP requries a
lot more resources than 2000 and a computer magizine even stated that XP
wastes about 200MHz. (2Ghz with XP is as fast as 1.8Ghz with win2k)
The other host is linux since compiling with cygwin is so slow (the 500Mhz
host compiles the xorg tree much faster than the 1.8Ghz windows/cygwin host)

This is a wild guess. gamers usally spend more on recent hardware than
geeks. geeks by unusual, cool hardware. but speed is not as important as
for gamers.
