    Anyone - Is it a difficult upgrade from WinNTV4.0 to Win2000? Can I keep all my .doc and .xls and Outlook Express files? My PC is fairly simple - hardware wise; have a Sony burner. Any comments....

    Most thing should work just fine with Win2k, and probably better.

    I agree

    If your machine meets more than the min requirements to run 2000 it will work alot better. 2000 is a much friendlier OS than NT for the simple fact that you dont have to reboot after everything.

    One thing we have found at my place of employment is that using a Windows 2000 CD with no service packs or SP1 applied, the upgrade works fine from Win9x/NT. However, if we used a Windows 2000 CD with SP2 applied, the OS got upgraded fine but all the applications were not installed. The applicatrion data was there but Windows 2000 did not see the apps as installed. Weird.

    I agree about the sp

    I have had issues with a 2000 server cd that has sp1 installed on it. I have gone to only using 2000 server with no sp's.
