No backpedaling at all. Nor did I ever give anybody "advice" to purchase it if they had Windows 2000. I have always said that Chessmaster would not officially support Win2K, but that, since several of the development team's machines were running Win2K, they were obviously not having any serious problems with it. The reason that that platform is not OFFICIALLY supported is that Mattel Interactive's testing department does not have enough machines and manpower to thoroughly test on Windows 95/98 AND Win2K. All I have said was that there were no known serious problems when the program was shipped. But, just like with Win98 users, there will always be bugs that will not come out until the program is released to the general public. The rule that the program gets more testing in its first 72 hours after release than it did during the entire development cycle holds true. Of the dozen or so bugs that have been reported (and not all have been verified yet), only 3 are Win2K specific. jm
