I have upgraded two systems: one from NT4 and one from Win98(a laptop).
Both were easy.
Microsoft provides a program called chkupgrd.exe, which goes through
your system and identifies software and hardware that are unsupported.
For my Gateway laptop, I just had to go to gateways support site and
download a handful of drivers. The Win2000 install actually found the
drivers in my download directory without requiring me to do anything ..
I was impressed.
I have only run into two problems:
* a disk-defragmenter on NT4, that didn't uninstall correctly (it
actually remoted the management console from Win2000).
* NortonAV suddently a few days ago started to crash. This is NAV2000
upgraded from the NT4 system.
I've had no problems on my laptop.
