Ronin 0 Posted February 6, 2000 Hey, Picked up my copy of Win 2000 from a local computer store. It's the real thing folks. The CD is the best part. If anyone lives in the Atlanta area and would like to know where to pick it up just let me know. Share this post Link to post
ThC 129 0 Posted February 7, 2000 How did you find a retail version before the release date? I guess if it has the hologram disk then its real, but could be fake you never know with half the computer stores around atlanta. I used to live there and I like the stores and such but most of the owners try tricking you into buying something you dont need then they won't let you take it back once it doesnt work.

Ronin 0 Posted February 8, 2000 Nope, This is the real thing, has the hologram cd (that is the best thing about W2K) The cd is so cool looking, and the little sticker with the Product ID# that you are supposed to place on your pc. I just noticed today that there are 2 other stores selling the same thing. Share this post Link to post
sheared 0 Posted February 9, 2000 I just received my copy of W2K also. I can't install though because US West does not support my DSL modem yet. Share this post Link to post
Driven 0 Posted February 9, 2000 Hey guyz, if you've installed 'the official win2k release', what is the actual version number displayed....is it really 5.00.2195 or something else. Just curious. Thankx. Share this post Link to post
Ekstreme 0 Posted February 10, 2000 What'st eh version in your dosnet.inf in \i386 on the CD and NTOSKRNL \winnt\system32?? Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted February 10, 2000 Give it up, Eks. It doesn't matter... As long as it says 2195, it's the RTM, gold, release code... Share this post Link to post
Ronin 0 Posted February 10, 2000 Yep, What does it matter, It has the holgram cd, and the sticker for the front of your pc. It's the real thing. And the best part is it only cost $150.00 for the full version not an upgrade. Share this post Link to post
