Anyone Using Windows 2000 Pro. At Home?
I just installed it on all of the workstations at work and I'm completely impressed. Is anyone using it at home? If so, have you found any limitations?
RE: Anyone Using Windows 2000 Pro. At Home?
Yes, I am using it. No I have found no limitations. I also run Linux Mandrake 8.2

I've been using it for a while now, and trust me, I've put it through a battery of tests with all my different cards and heavy software. I've found a few bugs, but nothing a normal user would ever encounter. I like it much better than 2000.

How could you think 2000 is better than 2000?
I use it. I can't stand that Fisher Price looking XP so I'm going to stick with 2000 also

I can dual boot my computer with either Windows 2000 or Windows 98. I kept 98 for all my games but use Windows 2000 for everything else. Windows2K is far better than 95/98/ME and XP just looks stupid. Unless something far better appears, I'm sticking with Windows2k.

B757300, I was hoping to use 2000 with FS2002. It would be nice to have on OS that can use this half meg of RAM that I have.

Oops, my bad....I thought he was asking about XP. Scrap my answer then.

I'm running Win2k, and I think it's very stable. I've had the computer on for a month straight with no problems.
The only limitation I can find is that it doesn't handle burning CDs as well as DOS based Windows. For example, I was running WinME (which sucks ass), and I could burn at 12x with half a dozen programs running, no sweat. But with Win2k, I have to step it down to 8x and not run any other programs, or else it runs very slow and it might restart without warning. And I have 256 MB of RAM, so memory isn't the problem. One of my friends is also running Win2k, and he had a bunch of programs running while burning and he got the Blue Screen of Death, I never had that problem.

I've been having problems with burning CDs while running Win2k. I just got fed up and installed the burner on my second comp.
RE: Anyone Using Windows 2000 Pro. At Home?
I'm sure FS2002 will work with Windows2k. Most new games do. Its the older ones that sometimes will mess up. I only have one game on Windows 2000 (Medal of Honor, Allied Assault) and it runs just fine. I'd keep it on Win98 but it is conflicting with something.
