I've just upgraded (if that's what you can call it) to Windows 2000.

What a bunch of poo.

There's NO drivers for my souncard at all, so I have to bloody well buy another one.

AND the my MICROSOFT mouse doesn't bloody work either! It's just a mouse with the wheel button thing on. So I downloaded the latest Win2K intellipoint drivers, installed them and sod all has happened.

It detects the wheel for scrolling documents, but NOWHERE does it let me use the wheel button as a double click.

Anyone got any ideas?

I think I may have to go back to Win 98 if anything else of mine doesn't work...

Some people like 'Saved by the bell' too, for some reason.

WinXP Pro rocks!! Installed it last week, and I love it. Slight problem with my modem and sound card, but at least it's nice enough to let you know before installing itself... Prefer it to Win2k wich i use at work.

For the first time ever, i actually like a win OS!!

SuSE is nice. I'd have liked to have tried it before Debian. Now there's no point, but it's good for newbies.

A mate at work's just got Suse Linux 8.0 which will be on a partition on my machine very shortly. I'll let you know how it goes.

As for Win98, it was good in its day but 2K is better. :oP

Probably. It's nothing like OSX. OSX at least looks far nicer, not sure if its better though. Horribly slow too, (what does this remind me of?)
