Hello,
I get the impression that Microsoft is pulling another marketing ploy here.
It
seems like they are just putting in some improvements and changing the name.
So the end result are two products, Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 Pro.
Looking at
the names and the interface it seems like the same underlying product with
the
Pro having additional features like security, ntfs, etc. But I get the
feeling
that Windows 2000, aka Millenium, is still Real Mode MSDOS with protective
mode
extensions and Windows 2000 Pro is still a 32 bit protective mode OS with
emulation of
real mode MSDOS.
I am really happy with Windows 95 on my TP365ED. It is a good thing as with
the
max memory limit of 24 Megs I doubt I could run later Windows successfully.
I am thinking of replacing the TP365ED but want the impossible (a cheap
laptop
with a DVD drive). I suppose in 2005 I will get my wish 8->. Hopefully not
before
Win95 becomes totally obsolete.
