Lately I've had some serious glitches with my gaming computer, and as a temporary network troubleshooting effort as much as anything, installed a couple of games on my work computer as a control test. As it turns out, this measure may be more than temporary, as this machine seems to not only clear up the problem I was addressing, and plays everything I've tried so far flawlessly, in spite of this machine's use of Windows 2000 Professional, which Microsoft readily admits is not very well suited for game playing. Go fig.

R.I.P.: Bee Gees singer Maurice Gibb dies. Thanks ZigZang.

Microsoft saying that win2k is not for games, is purely marketing.

They know that Win2k is a very stable Windows platform, but that there is no recurring revenue in that OS. So, unless they push new technologies and quickly quit supporting Win2k, people will have no reason to change to another OS. Specifically XP, which is built around subscription content and media control.

So they simply turn out the marketing team to kill 2K on the desktop, and get it replaced with XP. Saying games are no good on Win2k is part of that.

(oh, and I've never had a problem with Win2k and games, or much else for that matter)
