Agreed.  Win2k is actually a usable OS.  Quite frankly, I think it's a 
*good* OS.  I'm not a big fan of XP, but that's simply because it seems 
like it's designed to treat me like an idiot and I don't like having to 
beg billy boy to use my computer again if I swap out too much hardware 
(I've swapped out basically everything but the hard drive before, 
usually needs a reinstall of windows, but at least it works, linux 
usually does fine, jsut needs some config tweaking to load different 
drivers).  However, I have only once had Win2k hard crash on me (BSOD). 
  I loaded up a new version of my IDE drivers and the system wouldn't 
even boot (I finally ended up reinstalling since I couldn't even get to 
"safe mode").

All in all, Win2k is a fine OS.  What it's not is a cheap OS.  Linux is 
a cheap OS (price wise), and it works for me.
