Help.....Are they 2 Versions of Windows 2000 Professional? One just
that
and the other one being the "Commemorative Edition"? What is the
difference?
Also, I got 4 Disks...? Will describe them if anyone have the time....

Maybe the 'commemorative' one already has SP4 or similar slipstreamed
in? Maybe extra software included?

By 4 disks, do you mean floppies? You can use the CD to create a boot
floppy set for computers that cannot boot from a CD.

Otherwise, if you got 4 CD's, maybe they just contain extra software,
most likely trial and other garbage.

Thank you so much Andrew, for taking the time answering my question.

The one I have is the Commemorative Edition
I have more info about it; on the outside of the Box this is written:

B23-00079
PO: 4400000736
WO:26255-0-0-0215


And the Discs Case are:

Windows 2000 Advanced Server (2 CD) (Identical to the one below)
Windows 2000 Advanced Server (2 CD)
Windows 2000 Server (2 CD)
Windows 2000 Professional (1 CD)

These are definetly the original CD's: the person who gave them to me
left
the country, and used to work for Microsoft and received the whole thing
as
reward for his work there.

What confuses me the most is I have another unopened box "Advanced Server
25
CAL" which I thought some of these discs might be belong to but box has
one
in it already, and unponed. All of them have different Key Numbers.

I do have the instruction booklet yet no information as what is included
in
the box...?

Thank you


Most of the CDs you have refer to Windows 2000 Server, not
to Windows 2000 Workstation. Someone paid a lot of money
for these. Unless you need a server (and know how to configure
it!), you should use the Windows 2000 CD and forget about
the rest.
