thats too bad, i only run music writing stuff and the net on my pc, no games (aside from the odd starcraft throwdown), so 2000 is stable rock for me

Yes, if I could, I'd have kept it until extended support expiring, July 2010, as for gaming too Win2k rocks, eating so little resources and leaving so many to user SW. Alas, even soft mods to transform the Radeon into Fire GL didn't work.

Older drivers didn't recognize the GPU, newer ones complained about the OS, editing .inf and other files didn't deceive them. The closest I found I could go, was using modified HP drivers, but they did them for specific chipsets, they didn't extend the mod to make whole GPU families compatible, and the HD3200 (IIRC) one for Win2k, absolutely the closest relative I could find, refused my HD3300.

As someone noted in an Italian forum, the acting is so bad, the dialogues so appalling and the company so badly matched that it looks a lot like the opening, still dressed scene of a porn movie. This would explain why the older tart is so cheerful despite that utterly sad party: she's an amateur porn actress and she's waiting for the blokes to wind her up like an alarm clock.

Nah i'm good with Vista.
Windows 7 will be buggy as hell at launch, don't bother buying it on launch, wait for them to fix it.

Not at all, actually.  I've been using the RTM since August sometime, and it's extremely stable and overall a solid operating system.
