i use 2kpro for my web devel. i'll put my opinion on the table.
win2k is very very stable...linux still is better but i have had my 2kbox
running for 4 days now without a reboot.
my zip drive and cdrom and CD-r were all auto detected fine and i haven't
had any problems. Game will not work
in 2k unless they ran on NT4. this is a big pain. for quakers like
me. during the install i didn't get any errors what
so ever. with any new OS OEM are always slow to provide for their
products. MS usually gives all the OEM's the
final before they release it to the public to develop for it. I don't
believe that they did it this time. go figure. other than
that i totally agree with Rob. unless your a hard core NT "hacker" then
you'll have problems win2k. wait till win milinnium
comes out.
