Sorry, have to disagree ... WIN2K PRO was the first. And in many respects is STILL the better OS. It is certainly faster for one thing. But on all other points I totally agree, you are using an ANCIENT and anemic operating system, and you need to just upgrade. WIN2K or XP will be a VAST improvement.

I remember I waited a year after 2K came out to get it and install it, and oh how I wished I could have that year back from using 98SE. It was truly a (computer) life-changing experience. The NT kernal rocks ... pure and simple.
