>I've seen similar things, and I wouldn't doubt it for a minute. However, it should be kept in mind that, like NT, Win2K is a business platform. Therefore, compatibility with games wasn't an essential feature. This is one of the reasons that I wouldn't install it at home (my son has loaded a bunch on that machine). As a matter of fact, a recent MSDN News presented a list of potential problems that some applications might have running under Win2K. It should be kept in mind that when faced with a choice between backward compatibility and stability, the latter was always chosen. FWIW, applications that would have problems running (or even installing) under it, most likely break a number of the design rules, and may be the cause of many of the problems associated with previous versions of Win.

Agreed, I wouldn't dare attempt Win2K at home. I'm still pushing to skip NT4WS here at work and skip right to Win2K, but LAN is not very receptive so far. If we procrastinate long enough, it will make sense, though, I think. NT4 is going out to pasture before long, I've heard.

Will be interesting to see what WinME has to offer (besides a goofy name :)
