I have nothing but good things to say about win2k.
I have much better performance in 3d games like Q3 and UT in win2k then I ever had in 98.
WinME is just a joke and should not even be considered.

Ive completely ditched 98 and Im all 2k now.
Have no had a problem with any program or piece of hardware so far.
USB kinda sucks in 2k, because of the slow reenumeration speed.
But, USB isnt very useful regardless.

HAHA, you used the wrong cd :) happens to the best of us :)

Hitman doesn't run in 2k i don't think.. but that's only from one person's testimony. dvd quality won't suffer in win2k, gaming is pretty much the only concern (or really really old proggies... ie, i don't think doom works.. or does it?)

and what's the hassle w/ installing two OS's? it's just a LITTLE more work :) Install winME, install games, thats it. install win2k, have it do it's dual boot junks, and boom, a perfect dual boot system. i actually have two win2k installs :) hehe, don't ask.


btw, MAME does work, and alice does too. check your drivers.

It's not true lnguyen. Hitman DOES run in win2k. So does every new game/app as well. At least the ones that are any good!
