dvipsone is definitely better at the job than dvips.  however, the
vast majority of tex users in the world manage with dvips, and there's
not many claim the output is inadequate.

we might be able to help here (though not me).  however, if you're
thoroughly into the groove of using dvips, you might find switching to
dvipsone a bit of a wrench.  as you said, if it ain't broke, don't fix
it.

you may not have a choice if you need to upgrade the computer...
fwiw, i don't believe it's *everyone* has trouble with w2k/wxp, but
unless people pipe up and tell us all, it's hard to be sure.
