I just got win2000 Pro in the mail free?

Clayboy
It looks like Microsoft sent me a copy of Windows 2000 Pro for no reason. The invoice says price - $0. 00 and on the box there is a sticker that says Promotional Sample. Is this a time limited version? I can't find anything that says so anywhere on the box or the manual.

Winamp takes a long time to change audio tracks

Andy_25
Hello, (I've used the search ) I have a weird Winamp problem. Whenever I change a cd-audio track in Win2k it takes ages for winamp to switch tracks. It's almost like inserting a new CD. I'm running Win2k final release, CEL400@450, 128mb, and Pioneer DR-A015.
