I'm interested in how many of you are still using win2k an why? A couple of years ago I could understand it, what with the old saying that it was more stable than Xp but now under SP2 I'm finding that the versatility and stability are second to none, and my experience goes back to all Windoze from 95.

Are newer programs still working fine with 2k? Any problems finding drivers?

Reason i ask is that I do remember a couple of benefits last time I tried when I had a few problems running Operation FlashPoint. The OS uses less resources of course so loaded quicker, it came with less bull and here's a funny one...the drivers made the game look so much richer in colour. Well, curosity kills me most of the time (which is how I've learnt so much!) and I'm wondering the same again, mostly for BF2.

I don't think it's really worth downgrading with my spec unless anyone can come up with a reason otherwise?
