S.D., rest easy. W2K with all the updates and patches in place, and set according to the best policy is a good OS, especially for those of us who did not start out with **Nix 15 yrs ago. W2K is better than any previous MS OS, and if you pay attention it has very few problems. The problems mentioned in UCSB ResNet are the fault of the operators, as well as apparently an Admin that knows not how to point the members to help sources.
...... Besides, as far ask i can find out, it's the last OS where you don't have to phone Bill every time you need to reload your next larger harddrive or your next generation hardware, among other things.
