    Probably the best Windows currently available

    By Jeff  Nov 9, 2002 | 8 out of 8 found this Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional review helpful

    Much better than 98SE, much less intrusive than XP. Will probably be the best Windows version to use for many people. Based on NT 5.0, Windows 2000 is very stable and much more reliable than 98SE. Online Windows upgrades work well, automating patch d...ownloads and application. Never had much luck with Microsofts support in general, but with easy updates, perhaps I wont need them. Note that I dont use Microsofts web browser or mail program, preferring Netscape and The Bat! for much better security, etc. If you use 98 or older, definitely upgrade to 2000, especially if your hardware is from 2000 or newer.

    I didn't use Win Xp . I have Win 98 SE and Win 2000 Professional on My PC (P IV 1.8 GHz) I found this window really fast, and less errors in the internet. the problem is for gaming , Non of my games except Max Payne and Black and White worked on it. ...Otherwise it's a great Operating system for Internet and networking.

    Microsoft - Windows 2000 Professional review

    That said, Windows 2000 still represents a more stable and more professional operating system than Windows ME or Windows 98, and if users have invested in software such as Microsoft Office, it makes some sense to stay with Microsoft software. So if money is no object, Windows 2000 represents a solid choice for the desktop with a predictable future and excellent support from third party software vendors. Read more
