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Using outdated OS to connect to the internet is one of biggest mistakes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.
Who's going to bother making exploits that'll only affect the few Win2K
boxes out there? ;)
Why not if they just work? Common, it's the same kernel, just one major
revision behind.
DOS on the other hand is far more safe in this regard :) I'd say FreeDOS
is a superior alternative for Win2k dinosaurs.
