I still use it but then again, I'm not in my right mind.

My system is multi-boot. My copy of Windows 2000 is good enough to run Word, Powerpoint and the various other Windows applications not ported to Linux. I've patched Windows 2000 as best I can with the various Service Packs but would never trust Windows to directly access the web. I do all my surfing from Linux. If I need to do something on Windows then I reboot my computer to the Windows partition, do the specific task and then go back to Linux. I wish they could get Wine to the point that I could delete the Windows partition. However I suspect that happy day may never arrive.
