Does it work well? I have Win98 SE and am considering going to Win2000 but
want to find out if anyone has had any success with running all the Driving
sims with it. Thanks for any info you guys can give me.

I run Win2k-Pro as my primary OS and have no problems with it except with a
few products, the main one being GPL You can install 2000 beside your 98
install, that is what I do and boot into 98 for my GPL fixes. Everything
else has been fine for me in 2000.

Thanks for all the reply's guys. I had to remove it though cause it doesn't
recognize my very outdated sound card. Hope to get a good one soon.

If you've got a MS Sidewinder FF wheel, forget it. The MS tech site says
it is not supported for Win2k and has no plans to do so. Sure makes me
happy....
