Win2K is still unsecured with all of M$'s patches and service packs? Are these the kind of thing that are not compensated for by firewalls, anonymizers, cookie managers and popup killers? Hmmm. Some might argue that the whole idea of an M& OS has always been weak and therefore consider Linux instead. But boy, you really need a firm stomach to make that kind of jump.
So you're saying that WinXP is more worthwhile than dual-booting Win98SE and Win2K. Of course this implies that your machines meet the minimum requirements for smooth operation.
Some industry analysts have said that if your business is already running on Win2K, you shouldn't bother upgrading in the next six months since the improvements would not make the pennies count.
