to get a hold of some drivers and liveware software for W2K. I'd say Creative are
sitting on a brand spankin set of drivers for the
SBLive and are just waiting for that win2000 release date to hand them out (Feb 17 is
it?).
I thought microsoft were gonna do a "final" release of Win 9x aka Win 2000 for home
users who may
need support for DOS apps, and an update of NT called Windows Millenium for business
users. I
might have got those two MS app names mixed up and if so I apologise.
I have also heard that Win2000 (the Win98 follow-on I mean) might not have a native
DOS mode, ie it
doesn't have your old AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS and can't run a lot of older programs.
Is this true
as if it is I will definitely stick with Win98 for some time. If it can run a stable
and fully supported DOS
session I may consider it (but please no horse jokes about the "stable" :-)
And since this was an OS related email, hats off to the guy who ends "the day MS
doesn't suck is
when they develop a vacuum cleaner!". I love you, that left me helpless for over 5
mins!
