I still have 2K Pro on CD, along with every other Windows OS. I had a great time using it, however, I upgraded to XP with a fresh install because it retains resources much better = no need to reboot, unless updates require it, and XP supports Wi-Fi.

how will 64-bit cpu's change the way we use operating systems? i've always wondered about this since it seems like all the rage these days.

it wont ever change the way we use the OS...but it has changed the RAM limits. 32bit can only address 4gb of ram. as you have noticed 1gb of ram is not uncommon these days before vista. now that vista is here 2gb will be common place soon. if 2gb is common place and everyone has IA32 cpus then they run out of options shortly down the road.
