W2KPro was rock solid. I had machines run for 2 years without a reformat on that OS.

I think W2KPro came out while my wife and I were still using our original Win98 computer. I'm glad to hear that it was a winner for you. By the time we finally needed new computers, WinXP was the standard.

Thankfully, we were in good shape for years afterwards, and didn't need to upgrade again until Win7 was the standard. We completely missed all the fun with WinME and Vista.

I suspect ME was a bizarre prank.

Vista was a horror show.

Much like the 7 Ultimate I use, the security was *so* insanely tight that you could not access your own files, half the time.

Sharing files on the network was madness.

I loved XP and still run it on a few laptops but I never thought I would cozy up to 7.

I’m okay with it, now, as I fiddle with my settings until I have nearly an XP interface, again.

I have a Panasonic Toughbook still running Win98.
