That is not true. 2000 is the best MS OS to date.Can't say I disagree with this, so instead I will asert that Windows ME is the worst, unstablest, most player hatingest OS that MS has produced in the Last decade.Which is why I immediately went out and bought XP when it became available. [Smile]

Which is why I stil have Windows 98!! Woot the best OS in my opinion

The most utility with the least bloat.

If it weren't for obscure drivers, I'd be running 98 right now.
Instead, I'll be stuck using ME until I can stop procrastinating and hunt them all down.

Its got this wierd way, where it acts up and crashes and stuff right until I'm about to get mad and uninstall it... then it starts working nicely until apathy kicks in, and it can start causing trouble again.

yea i agree junkie, but you know what...it has not caused me any major problems, just a few drivers needed but as for OS...it is still runnin strong

Before you give up test that equipment on a different system.

I have noticed some incompatibility of 3.5" diskettes between our new Compaq systems running Win2k and other systems with win 95 or 98.

Can it be the OS? I was blaming the floppy drives.

I use Win98 at home and 95 at work. When people suggest a switch I always remind them that "A donkey that carries you is better than a horse that throws you".

Strange, I run 98se, 98me, and 2000pro on a network domain served by 2000server with no problems what so ever.

I also have a freeBSD file server, now it has real issues. The hours I have spend debugging it far outpace the pain of paying for another 2K license. If I had known at the beginning, I would have just paid my money and been up in running in less than an hour.
