Win 2K was a good O/S. How old are you?

I ran Win2k Pro for a couple of years after XP was out.  I really liked 2k .... after SP3 .  It was stable and fast with a more bare bones feel that i prefer.

Compared to what? Win 3.1?

No, out of the box Win2k was a security nightmare let alone trying to get hardware to work with it...even legacy hardware could be difficult...going to the NT core was a good idea but Microsoft almost blew it by not including the built in legacy support that was released in SP1-4...it was almost as easily infected with malware as Win95/98.

You must not have kept track of the updates for it...from the day it was released...nightmare until SP4.

Nope, I deployed Win 3, 3.1, NT4, Win 2k, Win 2003, and now 2k8 systems. Win 2k was great,never had any significant issues as neither did many other people I knew/know.
