This is a discussion about What a pity, buggy W2K... in the Windows Hardware category; An internal circulation reveals the large number of bugs in the infant W2K, the patching all thime high exercise of W9X/NTx is going to happen again and again, whew! The OS itself doesnt seems to have the stabillity of it NT4 ancestor also.

The OS itself doesnt seems to have the stabillity of it NT4 ancestor also. IT seems that MS by putting in VXD drivers with the PNP capability into W2K, the OS is not as stable as older NT. It especailly crash proned when invloving hardware driver issues, when VXD can have ring 0 access to the system within the W2K.

IF Programmer uses line numbers AND "goto"
THEN Bad programmer AND no job
ELSE good job.

I tried the Millenium ....
Well, just read again anything you've read about Win2k and replace Win98 with Millenium and Win2k with Win98 : Win98 is solid as rock . But it's only a early beta, I hope the next release would be worth .
Awx

Millennium blows ass, i don't care if it is a beta! WINDOWS 2000 ALL THE WAY!!!!
Alright kiddies. I will read you what is on my RETAIL box.
Windows 2000 Professional:
-Highest reliability to keep your business running.
-Enhanced security to protect your business data.
-best support for mobile business computing.
-best platform for next generation business technology.
Windows 98 SE:
-Best platform for multimedia: music, pictures, video.
-Best support for PC *GAMING*
-Easy home networking and internet setup.
-Broadest support for comsumer hardware and software.
This was taken directly from the Retail box. It is clear that Microsoft is NOT pitching this to the general consumer. The only reason it might be is that places like compUSA, officemax and others are just going to try to sell a new product and the average user will not look at the back and just see Windows 2000 and think "oh this must be the next 9.x".

But I think they'll havea few surprise, with "Administrator level access" and other funny NetworkOS specification. They'll go right to the shop to iveit back after turning Microsoft Win2khotline's guys crazy.

Look I would consider myself very knowledgable in the computer arena. I still will give no guff to anyone who wanted to try and teach me something new, I know I have lots and lots more to learn. However, I have thrown everything I could (i.e beta drivers, hacked drivers, MB change out, Misc. Hardware Change out, numerous know bad progs, and numerous questionable progs.) at win2k final, and it just smiled at me and kept on running....with one exception that was a known issue....Nero and the driver that it loads that is imcompatible causing a blue screen on boot. I solved that with a console repair and disable of the of the driver and not only was win2k up and running again pronto, but it was also using nero to burn with ASPI from adaptec. The only thing Win2k ever did was generate an error log and hum slong. So if you think that it is unstable then perhaps you don't know what you are doing, and need to leave well enough alone and stick with Win 98 or 98 SE which crash often, but you need to know exactly dick to run.
