How do you get an IDE harddisk work under Windows 2000? Why isn't my mainstream motherboard supported by Windows 2000? It is supported by Windows NT and Windows 98!! "You may now turn of your computer" - but the on/off button is deactivated... Windows 2000 really has some special experiences built-in. Unfortunately, some users will have bad experiences with Windows 2000, especially people thinking it's a successor of Windows 98, that don't understand why it doesn't turn off itself and why USB isn't as supported as in Win98. It's a risky thing calling it Windows 2000. Hopefully, it will sell a lot of NT technology to Windows 98 people, increasing earnings for MS, but it might also make some people unhappy about taking steps backwards technologically. And several games that work with Win98, don't work on Win2000. Games are the key to home users... By the way: Did you know that the danish version of Microsoft Internet Explorer isn't able to view many U.S. web pages with active content, because MS translated the API used in the webpages to danish? I think it's the same for other languages. I had to install Netscape on several computers to make Yahoo! work...
