Re:2000? Not Surprising! (Score 1)

There are a few things that I am aware of hampering Win 2k on old hardware going forward:

• Modern antivirus consumes huge amounts of RAM.
• newer technologies that weren't incorporated into Win 2k but are part of Win XP such as:
  • WPA wireless encryption
  • Bluetooth
• Microsoft's intentional obselecense of Win 2k:
  • no 'security' service pack.
  • no IE 7 (for those that don't use a better browser)
  • no newer media player (might become an issue in the near future if codecs are not available)

Just today, I was searching for help on Technet (the website), and noticed that many Windows 2000 & Windows 2000 Server technet documents have broken links. The error page stated that Microsoft is removing outdated information from the website.

So, all you can do now is search for your answers under Win XP & Win 2003 documents, and try to figure out what applies to Win 2k and what doesn't.
