What you say is true about the drivers- but Win2K is without a doubt the single best operating system Microsoft ever made.


I deleted winXP for win2K and liked how my machine ran afterwards much better thank you.

I don't see what is so bad about XP. It is really Windows NT version 6.

As long as you are the "administrator", you have full rights just like older windows products. If your kids, wife, friends, guests, etc use your computer, you can set up paramaters that let them do only certain things so they cannot blow your system away or hack your private files.

We use Windows NT here at work and it is MUCH MUCH more stable that non NT Windows. Instead of crashing or locking up your computer 4 to 5 time per day, now some days it doesn't even crash once !!!! What an accomplishment!

I still don't see the big problem.

Another thing, Microsoft has an automatic update service to fix security holes in your system as they are found. Are they even still fixing old systems like Windows ME ?

I don't like Microsoft's practices either, but they are the only practical game in town. (I know, LINUX is available, but I am not a computer expert and would not try it until it is further developed)

Just my 2 cents worth.
