But its been so long since I had to worry about a w2k machine I can't recall what filesystem is under it, messydos or NT-3.51. I wiped my last M$ install, XP on a now 6 year old HP laptop, 3 years ago. It has the 64 bit version of pclos on it now. Sweet.

And I'll bet they can't figure out why the usage is going down, or at best is flat. With support like we have experienced, they are their own worst enemy. Took lessons from M$ no doubt. Sigh..
