Windows 98!
This is a discussion about Windows 98! in the Windows Hardware category; I am officially going back to windows 98 since windows 2000 is having too many problems with games,hardware,and networking. Until they come out with all the fixes that I require, I'm staying with win 98.

What exactly is the X-Box and how will it work??
Will this be a program that patches up Windows 2000 and allow games to work better or what??

X-Box is MS's version of the playstation. It is a console gaming machine.

I agree with Shrink on the HAL. The Hardware Abstraction Layer is there to ensure no applications gain exclusive rights to your hardware.
Without this safety feature, Windows 2000 would be as much use as Win9x is today. This is one of the reasons Win9x crashes so much. Too many applications given too much control over your hardware.
By having layers that control how applications behave in your O/S is much more reliable, but the pay off is that hardware drivers have to be more tightly written. Even Virtual Memory settings in W2K behave under layers in W2K.
Its a pain, but its better in the long run..!!!
Now W2K Services... That’s another topic altogether.
