I whole-heartedly agree! I've been running various flavors of 2K myself for
a long while now and supporting it on over 150 installed machines. I highly
recommend Win2KPro if you want a stable, useable "workstation" or server
platform. About the only thing it doesn't do well is games...

Finally, I gave up, and installed Windows 2000 Server. What a difference!
Almost all my hardware, including the SCSI adapter, two network adapter, the
graphic adapter and the Epson Stylus Photo printer, were recognised and
installed properly without one single interference by me! The Wacom tablet
and Logitech cordless keyboard were the only pieces of hardware that needed
to be added. And I had to search the Internet for a Windows NT/2000
compatible Twain driver for my old Trust 4800SP+ SCSI scanner because the
Win95 compatible driver wasn't even recognised.
Since then, my system hasn't crashed one, the eSIF CD's can be burnt again
without any problems and even Office 2000 still works. I only had to enforce
my firewall ZoneAlarm Pro with an additional installation of AnalogX
Portblocker because about every minute I got an entry attempt from the Code
Red virus which seems to have infected many computers on the UPC cable
network. Fortunately my Win2000 Server installation is immune to it - I'm
not running a webserver.
