can you be more specific in what hardcoreness is? i'm more fond of how nt
operates compared to win2k, but i prefer the updated win2k gui. your gripes
are something that are easily fixable...dont install it and configure
explorer to act as the old explorer. i tend to think of the new interface
as Bob Grown Up.
my gripe on 2k/XP is the included computer mgmt console / mmc snapins. i
hate it...i dont one everything to be in one interface, it _feels_ slow and
inefficient. i prefer to have the option to have computer mgmt pieces
(usrmgr / eventlog / etc) executed in their own program (like NT) rather
than a snapin.
