I am not a Microsoft Supporter, but gotta ask you: Have you even USED Win2k? Its pretty damn good for something out of redmond. I manage a mixed network of NT/2000 and Linux machines and 2 of our developers use Win2k. THey have never had to reboot once the OS and drivers were installed.
I still love Linux and the power it gives me over my machine.
My bottom line is this: I want an OS that works, Windows 95/98/ME do not do it. Windows NT tries, but fails miserable in certain cases. MacOS? Nope..
I used to live in New Jersey and had signed up with Flashcom in December 1999. By Feb the first Covad tech showed up and then stated that Bell Atlantic has to upgrade the lines, till then no dice.
By March no one had arrived yet. I cancelled and moved to California. I ordered DSL through Mindspring and Flashcom. Again time frame was 6 - 8 weeks. I said screw it and went with @home. Service is great. Service was installed in 3 days. I enjoy downloading at over 350k/s .

So far Linux and Win2k seem to do the job.
