I do not like the implication that win2000 users are pirates!
Why would MS have updated win2000 to be able to play game sin the first place? That's right because there was a cry for an update (dx compatibility).
Why do games list themselves as being win2000 compatible if gamers do not have win2k?
And lastly, I don't know about the big guys..but at the places i have bought custom computers, you were allowed to choose your O/S.
And the obvious choice for me was win 2000 (bought just after service pack 2 fixed things)

Anyways, the main reason for my posting now is to say
cmd/// d:setup /a did not work for me.
After i put in the second disk...it prompted me for disk 1..and complained it was missing a cab file. I had to abort the install process.
Heh. It is definately getting harder to install games between win2k losing support and my drives being incompatible with the latest draconian copy protections.
I know i would not have these problems if i went warez.
My big problem is i am unsure of what to do. I am waiting for Vista to upgrade..but that might not be until next fall.
I don't see why i should be forced to buy winXP only to upgrade in a few months.
But i now have 5 games i have bought but can't play
