One clear area where Windows 2000 shines over Windows NT 4.0 is on a laptop.
Making a laptop work, with power management, etc, with NT 4.0, was always a
painful experience. I've been running Windows 2000 release candidates on my
laptop for over 6 months now with terrific results.
One other thing that should not be overlooked - Windows 2000 or Windows NT
is far better than Windows 98/95. I have systems running here that never get
turned off, in fact my main trading machine gets powered down once a month
and that's only a clue to how infrequently I vacumn my home office...
Cheers
Michael

For all those who can't wait to get win 2k, you should check out page 132 of
the current PC Mag...
"In desktop performance Win 2k was mostly unremarkable compared with NT4"
To summarize, their tests were Win 2k v. NT v. 98 SE. NT was slightly
faster in most configs than Win 2k. The exception was FAT w/256K (versus
lesser mem in the other tests) and in tests of web site creation apps. 98
lost.
However the win 2k server performance was much better than NT.
Also of note to NT users was that the FAT performance was consistently
better than NTFS with either OS.
