Advantages: Partitioning ablity on Fly

Disadvantages: Long time to install, takes a lot of space

In the immortal words of Victor Meldrew - "I dont Belive it". By that what I mean is this... Microsoft have finnaly made an OS (operating system) that works like it should. Following in the footsteps of the Popular NT4 Server, this highly popular program seems to have everything a Network Administrator would ever need.

The surprising thing I found about Win2K AS was that, unusually for a MS product, it was very very stable.

I have been using this version of Windows for a while now at work as part of my Web Programming suite and with features like dual monitor support, and a very easy GUI (graphical User Interface) I was in Love - and I normally use SuSE Linux!!!

The only draw back I can see to using this windows is that it would be hopeless on a standalone (older) machine! The install takes a good hour on a PC with the minimum spec - like mine! And the amount of HDD space the program uses is astronomical. But all in all I would say it was worth it!

But if I had to name the key point that secured it for me it would be this:

Windows 2000 (all version mind you) now have the added ability to mange partition sizes on your HDD, on the fly - not quite up to the standards of Power Quests wonderful Partition MAgic, but not far off either.
