I've read a few posts here that claim Win2K is very stable. Well I'll agree it doesn't fall over but I've had some very strange behaviour from it and have just reached the stage where I've decided that a fresh install is needed.
I tend to install and then deinstall a mass of software, as I look at various bits of software and decide whether I like them or not. One of the issues that concerned me was the frequency that Win2K suddenly asks you to reinsert it's CD because a critical file has been replaced. Now how do I know whether the software I'm installing has the better or necessary version of the file, or Win2K.
Anyway, after running it for several months, some of my software just doesn't run any more. Strange errors like "missing ordinals" and the like.
I should say though, that on the whole I'm very happy with Win2K and as I used to have to reinstall Win98 every few months because of its own creeping instability, I don't feel that I've gone a step back.
Win2K is a better OS but is it rock solid? I don't think so.
Is it just me or have other people had oddities with 2K?
