I jumped to Windows 2000 last year, in part because I was sick of rebooting every couple of hours. Win2k is a lot more stable than Win98. I've only had to reboot Win2k a couple of times in six months of constant use.

However, you do pay a price if you're a gamester: namely, many games will not run under Windows 2000. If I had my druthers, I'd go with Linux, but not all of the major software packages have been ported to Linux yet, so I'm kinda stuck.

It's very possible there's a workaround for that. I use DOS Procomm (terminal program) and found a virtual device driver that lets it have direct hardware access to the serial port (normally not available under NT). Maybe there's something analogous for games.

Now really, if your a gamer, you can still enjoy most (90%-95%) of your older Windows games. This link will help Windows 2000 Compatibility Updates

Also, most of the games I have, either will fine on 2K Pro, or I can find a patch by the companies that make these games on their websites.

I hope this helps you.
