If the box says PII/PIII or higher, and W2K is on the list of supported OS,
then, yes I can expect the software to work 100%. And so should you.
Besides, I'll take a pass on the P4. Intel has discovered the P4 is not so
great after all. Their new direction is to further develop their Pentium M
core, which I think is an excellent CPU. I have a Fujitsu laptop with 1.6
GHz Pentium M core (Centrino), and it's great. A great balance of fast
speed and low power consumption. We need more improvement in this
direction, not P4-based space heaters.

To answer the original question, my experiences with Norton are that it
does the job, but at a price. It slows the machine and you can't install
any new SW with anti-virus enabled. And in my experiences, it has
affected work of P99SE, as well as other SW on my machine. I liked its
system management features, though. Similar story with other anti-virus
SW. In the end I have found SW that so far did not show any of the
disadvantages of the other packages and if there is any slow down, I did
not notice it yet.
On the other hand, one can not expect PII or PIII machines running W2K
or earlier to work 100% with SW written in 2005 for P4 with HT. There
are too many compatibility issues and it is not all M$ fault, as much as
they can be credited with being the cause of a lot of our frustrations.
