win 2k vs winMe

[Sarrkazztic]

I am getting a copy of win 2k today!!! I have 3 machines at home currently running winME with no problems..however machine 3 is a test machine that I am planning on installing win2k on this weekend..(waiting for new harddrive to arrive) what are the differences between the 2 operating systems.
I may be interested in dual booting 2k and win 98 or 95 for certain game purposes...please offer any feedback you have.

Don't even bother with WindowsME. There isn't even a point in upgrading if you're just going from Win9x to WinME.

thanks for your input but if you read my post you would see that I said I already have 3 machines at home running winME with no problems at all I am a very satisfied user of winME...However I am getting a copy of win 2K today that I am going to install this weekend on my test system to evaluate..I am wanting feedback as to the differences between winMe and win2K also I want comments on dual booting win2k and either win95 or win98 for gaming purposes...I have ran into some games that will not play on winMe...

Have no experience of Win Me but because it's a 9.x system it probably crashes a lot. Win2k is based on NT and therefore much more stable.
I recommend a configuration, that I use myself, and that's win95/win2k dualboot. I use win2k the most because it's stabel but some games, most older ones, doesn't work with win2k and then I can play them in win95 that supports every modern game I know of. If i play a really old game i can also start dos in win95. Don't have that much experience of win98 but i think it's just a slover version of 95, if you use win95 B or C.(don't recommend earlier versions of 95)
