| I just got the Windows 2000 Cd from my friend today I want to install it but I heard Windows 2000 was made basically for the people runing a buisness and I heard some people say it's not worth it... Should I stay with windows 98 or install Windows 2000.. If I decide to install Windows 2000 what should I know before I do?? Thanks |

| that's correct JayD. be careful. when you install win2k, some of your hardware and/or software WILL NOT be compatible with it, in which case you'll need to download patches and firmware beforehand and . if your comp is just for home use mainly and you play a lot of games and just do fun and aren't really program/memory intensive on your machine, stick with win98. |

|
| win2k is A LOT more secure against hackers though + if other ppl use your comp you can set up profiles for each person, and it automatically recovers itself if it gets messed up. |

Whatever you do, do not use WinME. I use it now, and it sucks ass compared to win 98. 98 is much more stable. ME freak out way to often:(
