Good Points

New coding system - means no more fatal blue error screens (thank god), and it makes it more reliable, slightly newer looking (text is spaced out more etc), more features, and great for business/multiple users.

Bad Points

No System Restore function, that's about it!

General Comments

The Windows 2000 operating system is safe, reliable, and quite speedy. I think the speed depends entirely on your RAM though. I'm only on 226, and I'm starting to notice it slow down. Anti-virus software will slow it down too. Its reliability is top notch, and since I've had it, it hasn't crashed once on me. The new Windows Security feature is great - by pressing ctrl+alt+delete, a brand new menu appears that allows more options, including a revamped Task Manager that allows more control over programs. What's nice to see is that Windows will tell you when a program is not responding automatically. Overall, it is worth getting, and can be found quite cheap on amazon.co.uk.
