OK, new computer just arrived. It's running Win Pro 2000. Anything good or bad about this version?

Very stable operating system as oppose to Win9x versions
It's the best Windows so far. But, you should check out Windows XP that's coming out later this year. It is Windows 2K plus Win9x combined. This means that you can have a very stable operating system and play games as well. Right now, you can only play DirectX games with Win2K (unless things have changed since I've last played games). So, Enjoy

No personal experience but our SysAds went back to NT or 98...
I've never crashed Photoshop on ME like 98 used to, files viewable as thumbnails, system is restorable to checkpoints. Are you running CAD applications?

I've been very happy with W2k so far. Just don't expect 100% USB Support
I tend to shut down my Thinkpad once per week now. I can go from a wireless network at home to an Ethernet network at work without worrying about settings. Very slick and stable. I know some people that have crashes periodically, but I really don't get crashes except maybe once per month. Pretty darn good as far as I'm concerned. Windows XP is supposed to be like W2k with USB support...can't wait to be able to use my scanner again!
