Fully agreed. Win2k was far simpler but XP did serve fairly well. After that - buggier, bulkier, stupider. >> But ... MAY have a VM of it, maybe, for fun. > > I run XP under VirtualBox. It's enough for what Windows > development I do, and is minimally obnoxious. I've got VMs on several different drives, some sitting on shelves, some in external USB enclosures. I'll have to look for the Win2k VM. Have a bunch of 'em somewhere - including CP/M-86, Win1.1, old DOS (with MS/IBM 'C' & Pascal compilers). One great pride of my crap collection is a BYTE magazine with a REVIEW of Win-1.1 (it was HORRIBLE btw). I usually use a laptop now and it doesn't have all THAT much SSD space. Only VM on it right now is FreeBSD.
