Harry,
I run MS dot-net 2.0 on all my w2kpro clients. Support may have ended, but
Win Updates still works each month. When Windows Update stops, I will
upgrade to XP. May update sooner, however with the new platforms........... :)
Best,
Duncan

IIRC, The Catalyst drivers require Microsoft .net framework 2.0, which
does not exist for w2k
Also, Microsoft ended support for w2k March 31, 2005

BTW:
If anyone is in the market for really high end storage right now ($500K+
range), take a look at the product I am now supporting for IBM:
