How come this thread is still in Matrox Hardware? It has nothing to do with Matrox or their products. Shouldn't it be in the Soap Box forum? On a related note, how come when anyone complains about Matrox, their thread is immediately redirected to the Soap Box?

turbodog2 for your ninth post you decided to whine?

And for my tenth, I answer "Yes".

As much as I hate to admit it it seems like Microsoft have finally got things right with Windows 2000. It's seems to have the best bits of 98 and NT 4.0 plus some other stuff added on. I installed PC Anywhere 9.0 onto it and rebooted and got the famous blue screen of death, if this was NT 4.0 it would be loads of hasle to get it up and running again. With Win2K I just rebooted in safe mode and uninstalled it, rebooted, downloaded the patch, installed it and all was well again.

Who releases software these days without bugs in? The question is do any of them affect me and if so when will Microsoft fix them. It's pointless saying how bad product X is because it has this many bugs if you don't know how many product Y has. It could be half as many as Win NT 4.0 for all we know.

The only problem with Win2K is waiting for proper drivers to be written which are the main cause of problems anyway.

The only problem with this thread is that it is in the wrong forum. Otherwise it's a good thread

By the way, can you tell me how many bugs Linux has ??

Taz,

I agree with you, Creative live wire won't be out till march and all this make me kind of sick. If all these hardware companies have proper driver, win98 is already out of my box.

Backtracking to the beginning of the thread...

I believe I heard that win2k has 35,000,000 lines of code. And if it has 63,000 bugs, that means that approximately .18% of it is buggy...

I already have it on my system and it's running extremely stable. All the little software manufacturer's have win2k-compliant software out. So all I am waiting for is large software/drivers to be win2k compliant.

BTW, anyone know if Matrox is working on RRG Videotools/drivers for win2k?

What has anyone bought in the last few years that didn't require a Patch?

thanks for the posts everyone...sorry to bring this thread back to the top
lamfdtk i can name one program i bought in the last year that didnt need a patch( at least for me) Final Fantasy 7, or Dungeonkeeper2, sure they released a patch, but the game worked perfectly without it, especially on my MAX where my Diamond Monster 3D II consistently crashed!

ah...that feels better
