Haven't you noticed that all of the questions asked here are all about Windows 2000 and the errors it has or is given out to people. Some games don't work, hardware doesn't work, BSOD, illegal operations, sudden changes in the OS. Just goes to show that the OS isn't very good. I "was" using Windows 2000 awhile ago and got rid of it because it simply stinks. I rather have better compatibility in return for the odd error or two, then have a stable OS and nothing working right. That's why it's stable, cause they made sure next to nothing works on it, they "babied" it to get it working right. Crappy apps, games and hardware support, but it's stable. Now i like Windows 2000 because of it's features, but if w2k is not going to run programs well then forget it. There was only 1 program, one that i use a lot, called RPGMaker 95. I was done testing all of my games and apps with windows 2000 and discovered they all ran, last proggy on the list was RPG Maker, go to start it, doesn't work. Because of 1 program not running, which happened to be the one i use a lot, i had to uninstall windows 2000.
 
edit!!
although I don't believe this anymore, it's still funny to see this post. I shouldn't have edited it, oh well...lol

Is it OK in Linux because it works well, or OK because there is nothing better that's available?

You could use IE under WINE but whats the point. Its too much work to configure. I find that Mozilla's browser works alot better than NS6

That was what I meant. Saying that something works better on one platform than another would usually indicate that it was tuned for one of them. I just feel that this is in fact not the case, and it just happens to be better than what's available for Linux.

Netscape was great at versions 1-3, and worked well with 4 (kind of a pig, but so was IE4). But the development of NS browsers stalled, and now they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot with the NS6 implementation.

part of the reason IE loads so fast is because it is integrated into the shell, Netscape USED to be good, now i agree that its a bloated peice of sh1t

Another way to use Windows programs under Linux or Linux under Windows is www.vmware.com

OSX has to one of the most visually pleasing OS's on the market to date. Everything just seems to flow so smoothly in it. The entire OS is based on PDF graphics, which accounts for the awesome antialiased graphics.

Actually, I heard recently that Stardock was pulling all of their Aqua skins due to a legal threat from Apple.
