If it wasn't, WinME wouldn't exist. You can use a Lamboghini as an offroad vehicle if you want to, doesn't mean you are right or are using the product as the company originally intended. You make a valid point SpongeHo. However, what if the Lamborghini Corporation offered their Year 2000 Edition Automobile with Giantic Monster Truck Tires (with Direct X printed on them), and mudflaps (perhaps saying OpenGL?) as part of their top features of this new car. Wouldn't these features lead you to believe that the Lamborghini Corporation wanted you to drive on-road, as well off-road. It makes you wonder... I am sorry if I am being to subtle for some off you out there, I am saying DirectX (and OpenGL kept in) was put into Windows 2000 for gaming. BTW, SpongeMaggot, I play games on Windows 2000. I also browse the internet (something businesses must do), use Microsoft Word (something businesses must do), read E-mail (something many businesses must do), and also I also listen to MP3s and watch DVDs. Something businesses must obviously must do because Microsoft included Windows Media Player to play MP3s, and DVDPlayer (dvdplay.exe in the winnt\system32\ directory!) Plain and simple SpongeBob, it's called multitasking. Using all available resources to do anything. Live with it, and shut up. [This message has been edited by Brain Stew (edited 05 July 2000).]

The best date I can give you when Win2k Datacenter is released. When is datacenter being released. I don't know, but they will release SP1 after it !

Counterstrike is an add-on for Half Life! Therefore all graphic performance is dependent on Half-Life!

Are we talking internal or external SCSI, because I found a $20 external SCSI that works perfectly with Win2k.

Arin! I never told you oral [censored] was cool! What the hell! All I said was offical drivers are out for the SB Live! and not for your MX300, and oh yeah SB Live! rocks!

I killed you in LAN Games! [This message has been edited by Brain Stew (edited 18 March 2000).]

Quantus, You are dumb! Go to: http://www.symantec.com/nav/nav_9xnt/ , they specifically say Win 2000! Also, Microsoft is not responsible for the apps and drivers that come out for Win2k...

I installed the Liveware2k on a fresh completely reformated copy of Win2k and I thought all was well, all the programs started up! However, I tried to play an MP3 and I found that no sound was coming out of the speakers. I cranked up the speakers as high as I could until I heard static. When I tried playing the MP3 this time, I faintly heard the song behind the static. The basic drivers were perfect, why doesn't Liveware2K?
