BTW - I am posting from a Windows 2000 machine. Windows 2000 is handed for older machines. It is also good for bare bone machines from tiger direct. Yes I also use linux on these machines in dual boot mode.
Using outdated OS to connect to the internet is one of biggest mistakes ever. For instance doesn't W2k happen to have this so convenient for malware IE6 ? ;) + There are various security breaches that nobody will fix ASAP anymore.
I have several old legal licensed copies. I can fairly easily install and uninstall windows 2000. I do not have to deal with Microsoft's registration headaches. Believe it or not I had a customer that required windows 98 support last year.
What can I say try updating it at least to XP that still enjoys security fixes(?)
Embarcadero (formerly Borland) C++ Builder still supports these older systems.
