Windows 2000 Professional Upgrade

If you use the machine for any gaming or special types of older software. oYou might have problems but for the most part win2k pro is awesome! I've had no issues in running it for 1 1/2 years, stable as heck!<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Michael at 6/19/2001 3:14:56 PM<br /><br />Since I have never done this, but already have a copy of Windows 2000 Professional Upgrade, I thought it best to ask first. <br /><br />Does anyone reading this see any MAJOR REASON NOT to do an upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 and then use the machine for both development purposes and normal regular personal use (as used before the upgrade)?<br />

<i><b>Originally posted by : Michael (ad02001@yahoo.com)</b></i><br />Thanks Steve<br /><br />For some reason I had been somewhat under the impression that I needed to setup a "dual boot" situation using a FULL version. So from what you said, I am assuming that you use Win2k pro for both development purposes and personal data and that it works fine.<br /><br />Thanks again for your helpful replies<br /><br /><br />------------<br />steve at 6/19/2001 10:46:53 PM<br /><br />hi michael,<br /><br />one word of advice and this is only thing i've heard.
