I simply can't remember what names equal what versions anymore. I guess for people that only deal with Ubuntu, that's all you know, so you remember the names. I had this problem with debian as well: which one was the newer distro, ham or potato? Whatever happened to plain old numbers?

The problem with listening to discussion forums is the people there represent what is called the "Vocal Minority." People with problems and complaints are more likely to be vocal about them than are people who are content with things the way they are. That is why you tend to see a lot more "BLIZ U SUC I QUIT!" posts than "This is the best game I have ever played please dont change anything." posts.

That means nothing to Microsoft. They're concerned with MAKING MONEY. The copies of Windows 2000 that you own aren't making them any money, so they need you to buy the next version.

They don't need to talk you into upgrading now. When it's time to upgrade your PC, you'll be forced into XP or whatever is next, because Win2K won't be available anymore.
