I just gave away my last legit copy of 2000 but if you can talk her into XP, you can purchase the disc and a license through MSDNAA for like $7 as well as other Microsoft software cheap. You can read the requirements but basically you have to currently be taking at least one CS class. Here is the address:
http://www.acm.byu.edu/index.php?page=msdnaa Personally, I would recommend XP over 2000 any day. They are about to come out with the second service pack in the next few weeks or so which is supposed to help with some of the security issues and make it even more stable. You can even change XP to look like 2000 if she just likes the interface better. I personally have never had a blue screen of death or other issues like I had with 2000 but I also have very stable name brand hardware/drivers which makes a difference. Good luck!

I run a duel boot (pun intended) machine at home so my wife can run windows. It's come time that Windows 98 needs to have it's annual reinstall to get it to function "right". But then I was thinking I might install Windows 2000 if I could get my hands on a copy (my wife has specifically said NO to XP) So, the question is, does anyone have a copy of Windows 2000 that they don't plan on ever using again and are willing to "transfer" to me for a fee? -- Jacob Albretsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
