And, of course, you get a built-in software firewall that will protect from any hacker <hehe>. Is it any less bloated than 2K? I tried gaming with Win2K on 128mb of RAM, stuff like Half Life/Counter strike and Quake3 ran fine, but Counterstrike took 2-3 times as long to load a level, and Quake3 took several minutes to load a level, compared to the few seconds it takes on 9x/Linux on the same machine. Now Deus Ex was totally unplayable. Constant swapping.
