Stability is not the concern here. Windows 2000 is, in my experience (I'm
stuck using it at work) very stable indeed. It's still slow, ugly and
inflexible. It doesn't support simple, essential things like multiple
desktops (which X has had for years), has a really clumsy user interface
(what an utter abortion copy and paste is!), woefully inconsistent
behaviour and what's worse is there's nothing you can do about it!

It doesn't even come with a .zip file extractor!
