heh heh... I have had about the exact opposite luck as you. 7.0 died all
the time on me where as 2000 has never crashed once... for me and I've had
it running for as much as 2 months at a time before rebooting it to go into
another OS. I don't understand and perhaps you can enlighten me ( I missed
the post to which you are replying ) why someone who feels windows2000 is
better than linux needs to get a life? You obviously feel that linux is
better than windows2000 but does that mean that those who feel win2k is
better are retarded, and those who feel linux is better are smart? You will
probably say yes. I personally run them both because I can recognize that
they both have weaknesses and strengths and I also enjoy having 4 OS's on my
computer( Be, Linux, 2k, 98). : )
later,

Windows is never ready. It took Microsoft 10 years to produce 1 windows
manager. Linux has more than 5 already.
I have had Win2k on my machine for 6 weeks, and Win2k keeled over dead 10
times in that period. In the 4 months that I am continuously running Linux
(MDK 7.0 and 7.1) I managed to lock up the system once.
Win98 is as unstable as an egg with a bad hairday. The only thing I can
sort of appreciate is Win NT4/sp6, but that is a terror to maintain. But
for people who thrive on games that is not an alternative. (Btw I do not
play games on computers.)
'nuff said.
