He he.. no seriously. Tried to view the source of a large web page...poof!
Fully locked up. Tried to copy a large number of small files from a file
server... poof! Fully locked up again. Had to use the CLI to copy the files
so the workstation would not consistently crash.

I'm sorry, but Windows 2000 is a VERY stable OS. No matter what ANY linux
fan may say, Win2k is an incredibly stable OS. Windows 98 was ok back int he
day, but it still sucked as far as reliability. 2K does not.
