| 533260 | 2007-03-18 03:18:00 | Hi Folks ... Anyone know where I can buy a legit copy of "Windows 2000 Professional" Think I need the 'Full Retail' version not Interested in the 'OEM' or an 'Update' version. New & sealed package would be nice too, but anything that's guaranteed to work would do the trick ...Must have the number thingee of course!. Running 98SE (update) at present. Want to run 'Google Earth' Needs 2000 (At least) & XP won't fit. The 'rock & the Hard Place' Problem ! Thanks in advance. Regards to all. :) I don't think there is much difference between the OEM version and the retail version, with windows 2000. It doesn't need to be activated unlike window XP. One of the things that makes win2000 quite valuable, and is why you won't pick up a copy for only $10, is that you can upgrade from win 2000 to vista, and only pay the vista upgrade price. This can make a vista purchase relatively cheap if you have already got win2000. |

| 533261 | 2007-03-18 14:31:00 | New, genuine Win 2000 here (http://www.itserve.co.nz/) with others back to 98 SE, but be sitting down before you go to the OS page. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 533262 | 2007-03-19 14:05:00 | [QUOTE=R2x1;534964[ be sitting down before you go to the OS page.[/QUOTE] Thanks for that. I see what you mean. What a rip off. And it's only an OEM! Now ...About the OEM version. If I buy one. & it's 2nd hand, who's to know if it had been 'activated' or not. Apart from ME when I install it! Would it run, or say 'go away'. Have heard that OEM's will only run on the systems that they were shipped with. Am I wrong in this assumption? Regarding 'updates' This machine came with 98 with an 'update' CD to 98SE, which it runs now. It's a Compaq, so, it's fraught with 'issues' don't want to add to those 'issues' by adding another update to it. Thanks to all for bearing with me. Regards. :confused: |

| 533264 | 2007-03-19 21:17:00 | If your computer cant handle XP, what makes you think it will be any good at google earth? It IS a 3D app. | Ripdog (11014) | ||
| 533265 | 2007-03-20 07:34:00 | what else do you run on the computer, win2000 is really a business app and you may run into all sorts of problems with other applications, is win XP really such a stretch? | devo (6058) | ||
| 533266 | 2007-03-20 07:38:00 | And you may run into all sorts of problems with other applications Like what? Most programs that work on XP will work on 2000. |

| 533267 | 2007-03-20 08:00:00 | Just stick to XP Home if you can get it cheap. If your a student, you may get it cheaper. To be honest, getting a copy of Windows 2000 legitimately is going to be hard. |
