Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Doesnt crash period. Ive run battlefield, doom3, and others but it cant get better than this. XP Pro is slower and less stable.

Weakness: none it is a little boring to look at though

Ive read the reviews of the other users and I have to say that of all the MS OSs 2000 is the best. Ive built computers and Ive tested every os since 98 on my machines and 2000 is the most stable. I use it on my main office server and that computer has run for 4 years without crashing once. It takes up less space and system speed than xp and it beats the hell out of me

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Based on NT, Stable, NTFS (no chkdsk on crash, but no crashes either), SP4, not slower than win98SE

Weakness: system resource consumption

Win2K is at SP4. Very stable. It still wont fix or work around H/W problems; newer systems are a must; System consumes 128MB memory, 2G HD space (with no bells or whistles) and takes upto 5% CPU. Fix all ur h/w problems first - like get the latest BIOS for MB, dont mix up AGP8X board with 2X board etc etc. WinXP is not as stable, but has better features (commentary of some reviewers not...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Stablity, Security, Levels of access

Weakness: NOT VERY MANY, Microsoft Product

I have been using Win2KPro for about 7 months, I play games, run my network, and listen to music and watch DVDs. It works great with my NEW RADEON 8500. In short this is a very stable OS that has very few compatibility problems. I had no problem upgrading from 98SE, however, with all Microsoft products a CLEAN install is HIGHLY recommended. All my software except Audiocatalyst 2.1 works well with...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Relatively reliable

Weakness: Slower than Windows ME Insecure, and occasionally crashes

I tried to develop software with MS-ME, but had too many crashes, so now I use Windows 2000. I use it vanilla style, and avoid some of its extra features which are Microsoft centric. There is a feature to help recover lost files. I avoid that one, since the software of that feature contracted a virus on my system.

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: None that I did not find in Windows 98 SE.

Weakness: Very unstable; constantly crashes; would not select text before SP3; CTRL ALT DEL does not work since SP3; incompatible with many devices.

I found this website because my computer came with Windows 2000 Pro pre-installed and I am looking for another OS to put on it instead. It is hard to believe some others gave it such a good rating; my own experience with it has been incredibly bad. I used Windows 98, then 98SE, for years before getting this computer, and had no trouble with them at all. When I got my Tecra 8100 with Win 2000 and...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Stability

Weakness: None known

My work runs a package of several applications including streaming stock market data, real-time graphics updating, TV tuner, several open websites + 4 monitors. Struggled with W98 for 3 years. BSOD 1-2 times per week + other hangs requiring reboot. Had to defrag at least once per day. (A bad day would have me rebooting and defragging 3 times!) Could never have kept running without constant repair...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Very stable. Excellent multitasking and memory management.

Weakness: Has been replaced by Windows XP.

As with any OS, the proper hardware drivers are needed to make it compatible with your motherboard. Stick to name brand systems and boards. The negative commentary I have read here must come from inexperienced users. I have been using Windows 2000 with my clients since a year into its release. The only thing I'm sorry about is that it has been replaced by Windows XP, which is still less stable...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Speed, stability, built-in features, security... every thing

Weakness: The only weakness is that if you want to use it at home a few(only 1 out of my 27) games won't run in Windows 2000.

This is the best Microsoft OS out there! BETTER THEN WINDOWS XP!!! It is the most stable OS by Microsoft I have every used. The kernel is very small so you have plenty of CPU left to burn a CD, browse the net, and play a game ALL AT THE SAME TIME without messing up the CD your burning and with minimal lag. It supports the NTFS file system which is more efficient then FAT32 especially on massive...

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Complete Product

Strengths: Low Overhead, fast and easy install (8-2004)version and nice features.

Weakness: Lots of conflicts with my '97 Sony. But I got it to work.

I LIKE Win 2000 Pro. Its very '98 ish but it responds better than '98 even though I shoe-horned it into my pentium 200Mhz. I also run it with my AMD-64. Naturally that is a better fit, but to run at 200 MHz and 1800 MHz is a pretty versitile OS I'd say. Crashes are few. Usually its due to me running utility programs, and web surfing at the same time. Plus the normal collection of anti-spy...
