I used &#39;em all - 1.02, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, NT, 2k, XP, Vista, and since two days ago 7 as well. Win2k is fast, reliable, and most of all, has a very uncluttered user interface. From today&#39;s perspective, it almost shares the mac-like soberness. It remains my favorite MS product, and I keep it on two of my home PCs. Too bad my company just went from 2k to 7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-55751187587709981112011-11-06T23:51:03.692-05:002011-11-06T23:51:03.692-05:00I run Windows 2000 SP4 with update rollup pack 1. Be sure to install 48bit LBA support for hard drives larger than 137GB or you can run into problems with file corruption. Google it. Other than that, Win2k is more professional-looking in my opinion and really flies on my older system (1.8GHz AMD Duron and 2 gigs of RAM).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-13633851726805344432011-10-03T02:14:02.465-04:002011-10-03T02:14:02.465-04:00XP is Windows 2000 with some performance improvements and some additional crap installed. However you can use nLite to remove the crap and keep the improvements at the same time.<br /><br />For that reason, you should consider changing to XP -- it&#39;s really the same fast OS you are used to, just faster and more updated. Also, everyone supports XP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-24904800890008482962011-09-30T11:28:54.266-04:002011-09-30T11:28:54.266-04:00I swear I will quit computing the day my good old Windows 2000 will not be able to run any longer. I have successfully used all versions from Windows 3.0 to XP (W2K being the best), and declared real crap Vista and 7: no sense of UI continuity at all, confusing and frustrating at every new minute. I hope Windows 2000 users like us will be able to hold on to it forever more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-13748553724485071612011-07-31T23:20:29.743-04:002011-07-31T23:20:29.743-04:00I agree with all of you. I love exploring other operating systems, and I&#39;ve heard all the hype of how stable, fast, and reliable Windows 2000 has been. That&#39;s the one MS operating system I&#39;ve never tried before, so I decided to wipe XP off of a semi-modern (2006-ish) computer of mine and give Windows 2000 a try. Boy does this thing fly.<br /><br />After the initial install, I updated to SP4, installed anti-virus, an audio player, CCleaner, K-Meleon, and a few other software. Now I regularly use this computer just about every other day.<br /><br />Too bad MS doesn&#39;t support this beautifully simple (and strong) OS anymore. What a shame, but that doesn&#39;t mean I&#39;ll stop using it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-84435054164030076442011-06-21T18:05:39.472-04:002011-06-21T18:05:39.472-04:00I still use Windows 2000 on all my laptops, as it just works really well and is very fast. I even installed it on the Asus eee PC netbook, which was struggling to run XP, but now works much more efficiently.<br /><br />I will definately continue to use Windows 2000 for as long as I can find computers that will support it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-1364203009920589522011-03-27T15:04:23.458-04:002011-03-27T15:04:23.458-04:00I use Windows 2000 Professional because it recognizes all 4GB of my RAM, while XP and Windows 7 only recognize 3.5.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-88503775797875492782010-09-19T09:26:25.491-04:002010-09-19T09:26:25.491-04:00OK Enough!

I still use it to this day; it&#39;ll be a cold day in hell when (or rather, if) I ever am forced to upgrade. Hulu, youtube, facebook, firefox 3 - they all work flawlessly on this PC, as do Nero for burning DVD&#39;s and InterVideo MSIPVS (also made in the year 2000) for watching tv over my tuner card. Windows 2000 installed on modern hardware (provided you can find drivers) is a real treat - it runs incredibly fast, uses next to nothing for system resources, is stable as a rock (I can&#39;t ever remember a crash in the 8 years I&#39;ve been using this OS, and I&#39;m not exaggerating), and with no anti-virus or firewall software running whatsoever, is completely virus resistant (its been over 5 years since I&#39;ve had a virus on here). Everybody else in this world can have their flashy Windows Vista or 7 or whatever versions come out in the future, I&#39;m perfectly content using Windows 2000 into the distant future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-2801379066217115392010-05-06T15:55:42.974-04:002010-05-06T15:55:42.974-04:00Last comment on your blog here was more than a year ago. Still, I find a needy clause to express my personal gratitude in regards of this beloved operating system. Windows 2000, like your say, probably the best Micro$oft OS ever. Now, with the arrival of W7, W2K is suddenly three generations back, but still worth its cost. Like you say, there&#39;s very few applications that doesn&#39;t run with W2K. Also, I, personally, find myself very disappointed with the stability of W7. I find lots of old applications (eg. threads of Total Commander) crashing more or less constantly, plus the new enhanced RDP protocol is slower than ever before. The eye candy is sharp, indeed, but that&#39;s that. End of story. Better yet get errhm say some Stardock eye-candy bar or likewise, running through good ol&#39; W2K, instead of running into the bloated mad world of Vista/W7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28053819.post-23854563642357095422009-02-24T22:40:00.000-05:002009-02-24T22:40:00.000-05:00Yes, you are entirely right guys... I hate those stupid comments "Ah Windows 2000 is old, how can you use this, you must be up to date..." and that kind of sh**...here is an example: "Perhaps it's time to replace the 10 year old(ish) OS with something a bit more up to date?" I have it for 3 years, done with him all the possible and impossible things and the system crashed not once.
