IMHO for someone that understands computers well enough there is no
real learning curve in the upgrade from Win9x to Win2K.

If you need Windows for whatever reasons, I very strongly recommend this
upgrade. All the good things people have been saying as far as Win2K
vs Win9x are concerned are true ;)

Since I have Win2K installed (more than half a year), I have had one crash.
That's one too many, but acceptable, and about 200 times less than Win9x.
I now finally dare to use Windows for serious work.

Dont get me wrong. You will like the upgrade to Linux a lot.
But if you still need Windows for whatever reason, then you *should*
upgrade to Win2K.

I have been a very satisfied Linux user for more than 5 years, but for some
purposes, I still need Windows. For example, my scanner and digital camera,
and some audio software.
