# Well
NT systems dont do that shit.

Win2K is nice when I suck up all 1 Gig of RAM, 128MB of VideoRAM and full my scratch disk up to full & max my Processor (2.4Ghz) and have it crash. It just reboots and starts like I'd just turned it on.

Had I have to go through scandisk, it'll only take a blink anyway Mahhahahaa !

# I dont think its there...
It may be there in the OS but I dont think its active. Maybe you'd have to really screw the pooch ( not to mention crash it badly ) for it to appear.

I hardly ever actually crash the system, only when I have photoshop, ImageReady, Q3A, GTKRadiant, and 2 instances of Gmax ( Tempest ), Winamp ( 2.9 ), MSN, Norton AV, and notepad open and I want to open up something else & find myself to lazy to close something off first.

# Nope,
I've got Win2k with SP3 included in the Install ( SP4 is Evil, I refuse to get it until theres fixes for the things it fixes.) & I've only ever crashed it when I've opened to much up, which is very rare.

Only got PS6, and just updated it to 6.0.1 today. Havent noticed any problems with it.

The one thing that is screwy is IE6, I've found some sort of bug to do with having over 10 forms on a page & bg images in CSS. Cant redraw the page and spazzes out leaving me with a lovley pattern in the window which turns into a whole GUI problem if I leave it open for long.

# sp4? Barf! I only put SP3
on when I found the leeetle app that enabled the OK button without actually agreeing to anything the beast wants. I'm on a bog-standard install with 100% compatible hardware and drivers and it STILL breaks. Good job I expect it on a regular basis and keep everything important on a machine that doesn't run a microsloth OS :)

mmmmm VMS

# if legal . . .
and how much did u pay 4 ur NT/2k licences?
(Pyro_Wizard, Thu 21 Aug 2003, 2:20, archived)
# Not sure about...
Licences for one copy to be used over multiple systems because all the PC's here at home are OEM's.

We sell Computers from home so everything is cheaper than what you pay for it in the shops because we get it wholesale. I know for retail ( from most store brought systems ) there's a 200% markup on XP home, 300% Markup on XP Pro. But I'm not sure what current prices are for Win2k.
