haha, seriously. Well I think I am just gonna stick with windows 95, gotta go get myself a cheapo keyboard and mouse for it still and figure out a display for it. The only thing good about it is it has some random decent games on it, like sonic :rolleyes: . That is probably all the use it will get.

Of course, the NT kernel alone is a great improvement over Windows Me. The main problem for home use of Windows 2000 is that it really lacks media features, and wasn't really designed as a "Media" OS, but more of a "business" OS.

2000 Pro and XP Pro as well still need media capacity for presentations. Rather then being included in the default package the appropiate softwares are added later depending on the type of presentation like ad agency, sales dept. for a manufacturer, services industry, etc. while being initially geared for network rather then stand alone systems. Many still favor running the Pro editions of either 2000 or XP. Vista will see two versions for home namely the basic and premium editions while the other three are more business and network orientated according to the descriptions.

Ah, so the standard home and pro versions will technically no longer exist. So I am guessing the deluxe version is taking over for pro for home computers and stuff, while the pro will be mainly business?
