[WEB4LIB] Re: Where do you get support and why?

Win2Kpro crashed on me almost immedialtely after install. An oldish CD-ROM
drive (5 years old?) failed to read a newish CD-ROM (Canon scanner software)
so the PC just seized up, keyboard and all. Is this normal behavior?

Win2K Server configuration has gotten so complex that it may just have
people turning to a simpler more straightforward OS, perhaps Unix?
