Has anyone had experience recently with loading and running Windows2000 pro
on modern PC hardware? We have a client that had a PC die and all the
software they where using was developed for and was only validated under
Windows2000 pro. So to prevent the expence of potentially redeveloping
anything, they want to just get a new PC and load it up with Windows2000 pro
and the other software.

Thanks,

Erich

Should be no problem, as long as they get the various drivers
(motherboard, display adapter, network adapter etc.) for
Win2000.

It should be OK

Note: Most XP drivers will work if for some chance a win2k driver is not
avail
