I like W2K Pro. I have a trusty old machine I built in 2001 and it runs very well with it. That said, it may be time to move into the 21st century. I needed to pick up MS Project and Quickbooks. And because I'm still running W2K, the current releases won't work on it. So I wound up paying extra for older software.
Well now I'm trying to install Quickbooks 2005. And because it's old software, it wants Flash 7.0 in order to run. So I just had to fuck around and find an old copy of Flash to put onto the machine.
And now that I've got the Smart Phone, there is a very good chance that it won't synch up with W2K. It gives me options for synching with Vista or XP. No W2K. I suppose I can give it a shot anyhow, but somehow I don't think I'll get very far. So I'll need to use my laptop (which runs XP) for my primary e-mail accounts. :S:
I realize it isn't logical. Apart from nagging me to tidy up my desktop or to remind me that I have a wireless connection or trying to run home to Bill and tell him whether I have a licensed copy of my software, or a handful of other minor annoyances, I don't have a problem with XP. But for my money, W2K was just about perfect. It did everything I needed to do and nothing more. It was clean and you didn't have to fight with a bunch of dumbed-down wizards to administer the box.
