   Well, 'drivers' have always been with us.
   THESE days they've found ways to more or
   less HIDE the issue. The further back you
   go alas ......

   Win2k was kind of the last incarnation of Win-NT
   and was oriented towards biz/pro uses.

   It had most of the logic and structure we find
   in modern Win. It did NOT have all the BLOAT
   and incomprehensible complexity of XP and beyond.
   By then "eye-candy" and all-integration had
   become the main things.

   It is alleged that Win2k was the LAST Winders
   that a single person could hold entirely in
   his head - to know all interactions and such.
   Then that old guy retired and ......

   I have a VBox of XP ... has its occasional uses,
   esp with GUI interfaces for "devices". However
   I still liked 2k better. Have a VBox of IT too
   and STILL fool around with it.

   Hell, I still write little things for CP/M-86
   as well ... best not to forget the past - it
   had its good points today's people might tend
   to overlook  :-)

   Geez, remember when DOS came on ONE floppy ?
   You could DO STUFF with it, rather COMPLEX
   stuff actually. Not a 'toy' system. Even the
   smallest usable Linux requires a LOT more space.
   Even SCO Unix from the day was 'fatter'.

   SCO kind-of still exists as "OpenIndiana". Sun
   bought it, then Oracle bought Sun, then ...

   This is a good robust system, but is 'different'
   enough to require some work, even for Linux
   vets.
