Windows 2000 Windows 2000 is the successor of Microsoft's Windows NT and thus the latest professional operating system from the software giant. This is making a very important difference, although many of you might not realize what that means.
Professional users are certainly aware of the typical problem.
Regardless how much memory should be in your actual system, you will very soon see the funkiest effects. Suddenly the icons in your task bar turn black, ICQ-messages are suddenly missing the 'reply' button and finally your system is freezing. This is all a typical sign that the '16-bit Resources' are running out. Sometimes you might still be able to save your work, but due to the fact that those '16-bit Resources' can hardly be freed up anymore, you still need to reboot your system to get it back to working order. Luckily there's the much more expensive, but at least much more reliable Windows 2000.
