You have a choice between Windows, Mac or one of the Unix/Linux flavours. If
you don't like Windows then I suggest you go back to your Mac.

Windows XP's interface is supposedly more user friendly. I don't see it
myself but I am so used to 2000's interface it is almost second nature now.

As with any operating system, what you get out of it depends
on what you put into it. Have you read the online help? What
exactly are you having trouble with?

I understand your frustration, no other way to get familiar
with a system than to start somewhere.
and usually at the bottom of the learning curve is the
starting place, get some books on w2k
for me. Is there a operating sytem that is up to date that

Poor way to handle someone asking for help, I didn't think
he was slamming windows, just asking for help.

You may find using Windows XP easier. I think for new-to-Windows users
it probably is.

North - your reaction is a common one and has been for 40+ years among
people who are used to (and generally happy with) a particular language
or operating system - and then move to a new and different one. Most
just bite the bullet, which is initially frustrating and confusing, but
ultimately pays off. Many of the problems stem from nomenclature, which
differs between the MAC and Intel (Windows) and other worlds. However,
the basic functions and objects and operations are very similar,
although called by different names. It might be helpful, if you can, to
spend a little time with someone familiar with both the MAC and the
Windows systems; a good translator-tutor can probably get you up to
speed fairly quickly.
People come to believe that what they're used to is The One True Way and
anything else is awkward and just plain wrong...and that's the major
reason for the quasi-theological battles between MAC and Windows
devotees. As it was a long time ago between fans of COBOL and FORTRAN.
As far as I know, Windows is the closest thing to MAC you'll find. Good
luck with whatever you choose to do. This is small comfort, I know.

Pegasus is a well respected very knowledgeable person in this forum and you are the one out
of line.
I'm sorry, if you are having a difficult time. Please accept my sincere apology, if you
think I am out of line, also.
MAC's are good computers, and Windows has managed to create a conglomeraltion, but look at
all the apps. they have available. Anyway, have a good holiday.

Sometimes you will have morons reply to your posts. Please disregard them.
However, there are some decent people here at this group so if you decide to
stick with Win2k please don't hesitate in continuing to post your questions.
We are all here to learn.

Unfortunately my command of English is somewhat limited
and I find it difficult to follow you to the lofty linguistic heights
that are evident in your replies.
What I mean is this: In your first post you asked people to
assist you with your query, free of charge, but in your
subsequent posts you adopt a style of language
that makes everybody wonder why they take the time to
discuss your original question with you. Perhaps you
would care to explain this contradiction, in neutral language.

Then get the F out and don't come back.
Move your sorry ass and learn the thing.
You had to learn how to use a Mac right?
You now have to learn how to use Windows.
Easy. For most of us any ways.
