It's a very short 'bad' list.. missing key things like: Breaks WinAMP and REALPlayer, so you are locked in to using MS's Media player which will probably have tight content management.. and breaks your current disk tools.

IF u get the new one to install cuzx there is a certainb installation precedure!
like th e first u boot up u MUST press F8! and go into Safe mode orelse u have to do the entire thing again... if u do get it installed it is faster,more complatible, more relizble... like burning cd's and play action supercross @ the same time :)
XP 0wnz 2k!

"..The good: Secure, stable Windows 2000 code base; friendly home-user tools, such as multiuser logins and lots of streaming video, MP3 player, and digital camera options; folders and files integrate with the Web for publishing text and images or ordering goods; compatible with most software.."

So everything we've seen before except for a f***ed up mp3 player. umm sure.

PS: what the f*** is 'lots of streaming video'.. they don't even bother with appeal anymore

Haha, I'm sure if it's not in win2k's driverbase (what sort of card is it then?!!) you could download it.
