I've been on NT ever since.

I loved NT until I got employees.

 

Since I didn't know how to set up security on it, my help kept crashing my PC.

 

Best thing I ever did was to buy Win 2K.

 

It was easy to use and I never had to spend another weekend rebuilding my shop computer.

 

 

 

Murlin teh Win 2K rulz!!!

NT had some...issues with recoverability. Not the least of them was NT's inability to recognize an existing same-version NT installation as a viable target for upgrade/reinstall. VGA mode was a poor substitute for the recovery console. It's boot partition size limits made for some intersting gyrations when trying to get it installed on large hard drives, too.

 

Win2K is *much* easier to recover and fix than earlier versions of NT were. It was a highly worthwhile upgrade. Unlike, say, Windows XP...

+100 to Rick on this .

 

I will not argue about macs or Linux , cause it is unproductive discussion and rather senseless too ,cause the real world (work place) is 100 %

Wintel and we must used to live in new reality :

I am sure that Blaster is only first of the new big wave of viruses exploiting Winnt family security bugs .

Soon will come funny times.

And it will help Apple ,IBM, Mandrake ,Red hat ,SUSE and others !

 

And it is not wonder that Win2000pro costs more

then WINXP pro !

The way to avoid this is MOLP purchases. If you buy Windows Professional under MOLP, you can get Win2K media along with the activation-free WinXP media and install either one.

Plasttav... I bought 2 copies of Win 2K pro. Got the very first release....

 

 

It has never crashed yet.....but I think it leaks like a seive. I haven't patched it at the shop, no internet....

Do they have it all patched up now with most of the good fixes and drivers?

 

I dont like this XP I'm using here at the house and I would have replaced it with win 2k but I thought that XP was more secure.

 

Worms and viruses have me a little worried about Win 2k and the net now....

 

I wish I knew more about this stuff......
