orly,
a long time ago (more than a year, maybe as much as two years
ago) you had only praise for Win2K. Lately, I've been working with
a client who uses Win2K. I'm curious to see if you've changed your
mind. Is Win2K (as a client, and separately, as a server) GOOD
ENOUGH?
as it happened, today it(Win2K Server) bogged down (didn't crash
exactly, but got so slow we had to hit the RESET button, it wasn't
a crash, but ping times on the lan were half a second with no
packet loss, and we couldn't even get the server to display the
console when we moved the mouse and pressed several keys, so we
couldn't get it to reboot through software). it was definitely
a mystery, it's underlying cause being impossible to determine
in realtime, and even less possible to determine after the
machine had rebooted fortunately rebooting fixed it. but
rebooting twice in the same day for a server on which nothing
was running in the foreground, and not much was running in the
background either (it was a domain and file server for around
40 people) was kind of weird.
on my own box/notebook (dual boot Win2K-Linux, although Win2K is
used only to play exactly one game) i have no problems with Win2K
at all. but then i don't do much with it really.
just wondering...
