I have contemplated going from Win98SE to Win2000 for some time. My
hesitation has always been in getting all the correct drivers, etc for the
new operating system. I have a Dell Optiplex and Dell points you to a part
of their website where drivers are located. I have found trying to determine
which ones I need rather daunting - but that could be just me. I have been
told that Win2000 has a good number of the necessary drivers, but I am not
sure.
Probably the question I am asking is - how big a deal is it changing to the
Win2000 operating system (knowing that part of the answer is it depends on
what equipment I have) ? Thanks.
