Notice that people are blaming Microsoft again???

Was there ever a Version 2 of Windows 2000??? NO. Why? Because it was so damn stable that there was no need for it. The service packs are going to continue as for a OS to be 100% bugfree it would take literally decades to do so.

What about all of the people out there who are still using 'version 1' editions of OS's?? I know plenty of people using Win95/98 first editions who have no problems at all. If the OS is that bad then everyone would be having the problems, wouldn't they?? I used Win2K without any service packs for absolutely ages with NOT ONE PROBLEM at all, neither did I get any problems after installing service packs or updates. Why?? If the updates were a problem, then I would have had all the hassles that some others have had , would I not?? The majority of the problems lie with incorrect BIOS settings (the major one), old drivers for hardware, bad hardware configuration, etc,etc. What may work under ONE operating system, may not under another, as some OS's are more leniant towards certain problems than others. Yes, Win2K can be very funny in regards to drivers & some hardware, but I have never seen a PC that I have built or worked on, crash after installing a MS Update, & believe me I have worked on a hell of a lot of machines with differing specs etc.

As for XP , I have been using it throughout the early beta stages to now, and I will go out on a limb and say that I have not found anything (except for Zone Alarm still) that will not run under it. I now believe that MS have found a worthy successor to Win2K (Professional Edition) and really this is what Millennium should have been really (Home edition).
