How much does windows 2k cost?

I took the poll... ...so I feel licensed to comment.

I loaded Win2K at home (from the office). I can tell you now, there are more problems running a wide variety of games on it than other OS's. At least, I experienced them. Yes, I suppose there is tweaking to be done, but IF your PC is used for a wide variety of games, I would recommend something else. Go to Media Play or Best Buy and take a look at which OS's are supported on a miscellaneous selection of games.

Win2K was made as an "office" system. As such, game makers weren't overly concerned about making sure games were compatible with it. IF they ran, fine, if not, they didn't expend a whole lot of effort trying to figure out why.

You can believe what you like from people who have posted here. But, look at the voting and ask yourself why you would choose anything other than XP.

But, THIS I can promise you...

"I don't think Win2K is the right OS for you. I feel strongly enough about it that I will send you a check for $25 to help you buy XP."

I don't know you, but I suspect you play lots of games...I'd hate to see you get the OS that wasn't the best investment for you IF that is what you use your computer for mostly.

Just let me know. I'll need an address and a RL name...Narf just won't make it on a check... ).
