We have avoided this topic like that bore you meet
at a party and you cannot seem to shake. Why? Windows 2000 is not intended as a
client operating system for the average home user. The price alone tells you
that, at over 2 ½ times the cost of Windows95/98. Windows 2000 is designed
for corporate LANs, for major workgroups and for IT professionals to install. We
have stated that over and over, we have tried repeatedly to explain to normal
users that Windows Millennium is coming, the intended upgrade for Windows95/98.
But, it seems to fall on deaf ears, with more and more people shelling out the
coins for Windows 2000, only to come to PCBUILD or PCSOFT with problem after
problem installing it.
We should also point out that Microsoft Whistler
is now in Beta testing. Whistler is the next Microsoft Operating System
and it will be the upgrade for all older Microsoft Operating Systems.
Whistler is the future.
So what do we do?
We
accept it, we write a basic install guide to help and hope that possibly we can
save a few people the brain-drain involved in installing Windows 2000. If you
are an advanced user or an IT professional, do not expect to find anything
advanced in this guide. I am writing it based on the one person, one PC model
for Windows 2000 Professional Edition, in the hopes of solving many issues
before they begin. Will this be simple? Will it be easy enough for anyone to
understand? Well, we can only hope.
