I have a better solution.
FDisk windows and install Zeta :-D (BeOS R6 - released yesterday).
Seriously though. I do find that a lot of the problems I've encountered is due to hardware not sticking to the standards, usb stuff especially seems to be bad for this. And whoever came up with USB ADSL modems should be shot, his or her body drawn and quartered, then force fed to the person who ok'd the idea. I have had hellish problems with some systems when using ADSL modems. I can fix just about anything given a little time, some space and a sound proof room (The air goes blue when dealing with windows and usb stuff). But these things I generally find are the worst to fix.
Win2k for me is fine, I use it as a games system and very rarely have problems with it. That said, I have had no end of issues with WinXP and I deliberately downgrade any system I come accross with this attrocity installed on it when I'm allowed, simply because there are so many niggles with it (Not big issues, but very annoying problems that I can never fully track down) that simply don't happen with win2k, well, not nearly with the same regularity at any rate.
My main OS is BeOS R5 with Bone Installed, I use it because beyond games, it does everything I need, when I mess things up, its easily fixable, libs are in a libs folder, commands are in /bin drivers are in their correct places etc etc, its basically easier to go through and find/correct issues simply because the layout of the OS is designed to be more human friendly, much like AmigaOS in that regard. Windows were on to a winner with Win2k, and as much as the Amigan in me hates to say this, its a damned fine OS, the best they ever built imo, XP however, feels like someone put a throttle on that good work whenever I've encountered it.
