***NOT TOO BAD*** ???? I've been running Win2k for some 6 years now and I would rather fight than switch! In fact, I was all ready to buy a new laptop with XP on it and Dell told me that I had one day left to order it before they *forced* me to buy Vista or pay an extra $100 to get the "dual" configuration. So I'm still banging on my 6 year old keyboard (MS natural, btw, even MS gets something right once in awhile).
I never had a problem with DOS. In fact for some things I wouldn't mind going back to it. Of course it has little or *no* protection from errant apps, but IMHO the biggest flaw was the memory handling. But that is, what, some 15 years ago???
