Main problem with 2K Support ending soon Far more XP than 2K people on Help forums etc
re 2K and 16 bit, name the programs - 2K is a progression from the 'Office - networked NT3, NT4 'Business' environments XP is a progression from the 'home user' 95 - 98 - Me , but also to be the upgrade path from NT XP includes more 'games' environment support than 2K More, and more PC-connecting 'toys' do not include 2K drivers But, if you can manage to set-up a third part firewall - as well as close off the 'ports' on 2K and you gotta pay for XP, and there are free 2K licences then 2K Also remember that the Office 2003, more than XP, uses many facilities that are imbedded in the OS and you will probably find that many of them are not available in 2K - OE 7 being a prime example JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2005 9:03 PM Subject: Win2k Pro? > I'm starting to get tired of the daily Win98SE crashes.
