To each his own i guess.
I was dual booting with Win2000 & 98se for a while because i am a gamer & love to host Rogue spear games from time to time.
And after a while i realised all the stuff i was doing in win2000 i could do in 98se very nicely.
So it was no sence keeping 2 operating systems around when 1 would do,that's why i dropped win2k.
But that's my peticular needs,like I said to each his own.
What's right for me might not be right for a non gamer.
If i would loose interest in games too Win2000 would be my 1rst choice.
