What the hell can I do with Windows2000?

I've been a Unix weenie since 1986, but just for giggles the other day, I installed Windows2000 on a machine at home. I don't intend to do anything serious with it-- it's absolutely a toy machine for a toy operating system.

Specs: 1.6GHz non-HTable P4, 512MB SDRAM, GeForce FX 5200 w/ 128MB vram.

I've got the 'Dawn' demo already, but what else can I do with the thing? It's not worth spending money on, and I don't bother with warez games. Suggestions?

you have been using shitty dvd player program.

He's right. In general, the shittiest apps are written by6 clueless windows programmers.

It also could have been a freak accident. Those happen under Linux too.

Even with the wait states, my system taking three minutes to figure out that "gee there really is no DVD disk in the drive any more and I should give control back" is unacceptable.

Technically, UNIX should shut down a lot faster. It doesn't though, probably for the same reason Windows can take a long time to open your DVD in that instance: it's playing safe and waiting for processes to terminate.

Hardly excusable, but hardly exceptional either.
