If you have a lot of games, you would be making a mistake going for Windows
2000.  It is meant as an upgrade to Windows NT and I don't ever recall a lot of
gamers as being devoted to Windows NT.  I suggest you wait until Windows Me
comes out later this year.  That's definitely what I'll be doing because I see
no reason to change from my current Windows 98 first edition until that time.
The reasoning being that all of my games run great, so why would I want to rock
the boat and risk a lot of compatibility problems just to get the newest
version of Windows? (which, to me, "proves" nothing).
