My office still runs 2000.
Then again the computers we have probably aren't up to running xp!

My department is the least important when it comes to this sort of thing it seems.
Everyone else has got Vista.

You aren't missing out
It's rubbish for business use

I still have to maintain some 95 boxes
They have TURBO buttons and everything

Amazing are the RM networks ones?
My school had half a dozen RM networks win95 pcs with turbo buttons. My 486 did too!

pfft haha my old 486 had a turbo button :)

( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Tue 26 May 2009, 12:20, archived)

Yep, mine did too.
I had a 486 with win 3.11 for workgroups and a quad speed cd rom drive.

Good times

It amuses me that you can now get about four CD ROM drives
for the price of a CD.

That quad speed was an upgrade too!
Bought so I could play Doom!

Haha
I miss the old turbo buttons
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Tue 26 May 2009, 12:20, archived)

haha turbo button,
computers with a button on the only purpose of which is to make them go SLOWER so you can run old DOS programs that do timing by delay loops. Of course the marketing department won't stand for that sort of thing, they'll have us believe it actually makes the computer go faster.

It is like my keyboard having the SysRq button on it.
Totally redundant these days!

remap it to "bacon"

( spacefish bong!, Tue 26 May 2009, 12:26, archived)

But then I need to install the bacon dispensing drivers.

Thank you.

it could have
been worse

i don't believe lisp programmers would know user-friendliness if it cons'd them on the head
( spacefish bong!, Tue 26 May 2009, 12:41, archived)

I quite like the idea of having a 'Hyper' button!
That layout is awful though!

2000 is excellent
it's a perfect little chunk of "it just works." shame it's not supported very well these days
( spacefish bong!, Tue 26 May 2009, 12:18, archived)

It is a good os for what we use it for.
But the work pcs are sooooo sloooow!
