Makes me feel like a bit of an oddball still working with W2K

I am just keeping an old laptop alive for occasional work at home. XP became
unusable with the updates and anti virus running, I have been round the
houses a bit with downgrading to ME, then dual booting different versions of
linux and Win98. Now seem to be settled on win2k which is working well.
Win2k is what the laptop had on it when it was new.

Sure, you're not alone!



I'd even say: the W2K community is growing, since…

- It is a rock solid system

- It doesn't need loads of resources, and therefore…

- It runs on older machines, for about two decades, already (x386+)

- Though it’s a Windows system, it can be tweaked rather easily

- You can control background activities when surfing, e.g.

- Finally, yet importantly, there are tons of free, tested by millions of users, apps, tools, gadgets, etc. And you can still find old, well experienced proggers out there, so you will find a solution for almost any problem.



On the other hand,

- It needs more administrative activity to fine-tune the system for non-IT-professional use (i.e. for non-administrative users). However, it is possible. (And I guess, it's much easier than with a Linux system, anyway.)

- It's not harmless, in the hands of some kids or foreign IT professionals. ;-) But it's always the same with weapons: for the one, it is dangerous, and for the other one, it gives more security.
