The unofficial kernel and the libraries associated with it are included in the UURollup itself. Dependency problems that causes incompatibility issues on Win2k are also fixed in it. Of course this applies only to the English version of Win2k. There are some ways to do the similar thing for other language versions but it is a little bit more complicated.
I will try to provide detailed instructions later. I want to thank ppgrainbow who helped write and improve the above instructions. Posted Jun Tue 5th pm Out of pure curiosity: why and where are you still using Windows ?
Considering that even extended support ended two years ago and that there are several known and unfixed security flaws, running a Windows set-up as a production system connected to the Internet seems, well, rather reckless. If you just like tinkering with old OSes for the hell of it and are aware of the risks involved, though, all power to you.
I still remember installing Windows with Microsoft Bob in a virtual machine just for the nostalgia. Posted Jun Wed 6th am I like Windows specifically for a few reasons: 1. It means: - no eye candy no themes, no shadows, no bells and whistles, etc.
Super light UI. Win2k's Explorer is very simple and light compared to the ones from XP and later. It has been always known for being rock stable. Very low system requirements. It requires very little disk space compared even to XP. As for the updates: 1. Many XP updates can be used directly in Win2k. It applies to almost all registry only updates like time zone updates or fraudulent certificates updates, etc. Most of the other updates have been already ported by people like WildBill and BlackWingCat who modified Win2k system files accordingly to the fixes done in the XP security updates.
If you look at the Windows Updates page you can see that it covers everything from and is still being updated. But yes, you're right that I just like "tinkering with old OSes" Any normal person would probably just give up. Pixel Posts: Joined: Dec Fri 21st am. Posted Jun Wed 6th am Pixel Yes but why bother if you've got the same thing in Windows by default? Switching to XP at the moment doesn't really make sense only 2 years of support left.

I don't think there's a problem with performance on a multi-core CPU. There's no difference in the kernel between each Win2k edition. It's true that the spectrum of choice for AVs is limited but Avast 7 still officially supports this OS. Posted Jun Wed 6th am Grantius I agree that experiment is an appropriate word.

Firefox Portable may work [I haven't been able to try it, because I don't have a W2K operating system installed any longer] because it doesn't always need to be "installed" if you use a Zip build.
And Portable doesn't affect the Registry which is one of the issues with W2K on the official version of Firefox. Since Firefox Portable it is a 3rd party version it isn't supported in this forum.
It's funny how many guys can't see the forrest if it is surrounded by bushes! Just like a more advanced batch or shortcut. The launcher is 3rd party and can launch ANY Firefox version.
This versions work or not on w If you know the answer, please enlight me. If not, please let those who know to fill the topic.
