Maybe Win2K does everything he needs to do efficiently on elderly hardware!

Win2k is the last mainstream OS produced by M$ that is relatively free of bloatware therefore it runs efficiently on elderly PCs with limited resources. My spare lappy is a very elderly Tosh that I use for playing with small Linux distros, and that struggles with XP but runs a treat under Win2KPro.

I'm also using an old desktop running Win2KPro as a MIDI slave linked to a digital piano, does everything I need it to do so no need to "upgrade"!
