In my estimate, they view it as a stopgap measure to prevent users from outright switching to Linux. Their motives were not altruistic of course. Microsoft recently made Virtual PC 2004 a free download. So why not go out with something that's a) fun b) poorly documented and c) When I build a new PC in the near future it will likely be running some flavor of Linux.Īs such, I expect this will be my last Win2k article. However, good ole' Win2k is getting rusty and I have no interest in Vista for a variety of reasons. I can write Java code and rambling web page articles on Windows 2000 just fine.

Nothing personal against Windows XP, it just doesn't offer anything new that I need.

It's late 2006 and I'm still running Windows 2000 at home.
