Amazon.ca Product Description

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional is the most reliable desktop operating system for business. Building on the power of Windows NT and the ease of using Windows 98, Windows 2000 is the best choice for work environments--big and small. Windows 2000 Professional offers the launching pad businesses need to benefit from the productivity and Internet applications that they use most. When combined with Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional is the foundation for the distributed platform that will optimize your business for today's dynamic work environment. The built-in Windows 98 business features include a simplified user interface, improved Plug and Play, Power Management, and support for a broad range of hardware devices. It's more reliable, secure, and manageable than Windows NT Workstation because of its new file encryption system and application management tools. Windows 2000 Professional was designed for business solutions and is not intended to replace Windows 95 or 98 for entertainment, gaming, or typical home use.

Stick with it. (2003-04-27)

Excellent OS Very stable. I have a copy running non stop for 1.5 years with no reboots. i will be rebooting it soon so i can do all the latest updates. For games it runs just fine. Don't be fooled and go with XP. Stick with WIndows 2000 Pro and save your money.

Total pain ..., now I use linux (2003-03-16)

I am so sick of having to use this ... at work. With any kind of serious development, you'll run up against its limitations in process control and monitoring real quick. Unless you're so inundated and indoctrinated in microsoft think that you can't understand why one would want to actually control the operating system, you'll learn to loath win2k.

More stable than Windows98 second edition (2003-01-26)

I have both windows 98 second edition and windows 2000 professional. I really like the stability of the 2000 o/s best. I have never had any crashes. It is easier to maintain with the tools that come with it also. I do not play alot of games but use it mostly for e-mail, web browsing and some programs. This is much more stable than 98. I get alot of error messages with 98 and blue screens also. So far with 2000 I have not seen any of those yet!!!

Upgrade to XP (2003-01-23)

This program is not compatible with anything! It is easy to get around and use but I have had numerous problems finding printers, programs and cameras that work with this program.

It's so good I'm getting a copy for my technophobic wife (2002-12-17)

I've used it for a year and not only have never regretted getting it, I've wondered why I waited so long. I bought a computer with XP installed & then switched to 2000 and as a home office user I can't recommend it highly enough. My technophobic wife has been traumatized in using Win98 on her computer and after hearing my accolades for 2000 has begged me to install it on hers, which I intend to do as soon as I can get another copy.
