The Snipping Tool and the Mobile Device Center worked perfectly in Vista, too.
Possibly, but I skipped Vista because the first system we tried to install it on for a test at work BSOD'ed 3 times during the installation. We did get it to install mind you. Then it took forever to boot up and load the gadget bar on the right. So we disabled that. Then it crashed a couple more times when we tried to put VPN software on it. Found the fix for that. We then couldn't install default drivers for a printer, though the drivers were eventually coming out according to HP. But we got around that by using a slightly older driver, though we lost some functionality.
After that was all setup it seemed to work fine, for awhile anyway. Until one day it decided that our corporate anti-virus software needed administrative privileges when the system was running as a regular user and not as admin. So it popped up an "allow/deny" prompt every time any file was accessed because of the real time scanner.
So yeah the snippit tool and mobile device may have worked fine in Vista....I just never got around to it.
Windows 2000 pro sp4 "its the best" as zohan would say win2k pro is the most stable system and the least system with errors and you can always count on ur win2k when everything else fails
Windows 7 seems pretty nice. Worlds better than Vista for sure... I still prefer Linux for my day-to-day activities though. Sadly I'm chained to Windows for my gaming addictions. Oh L4D... why do I love you so? Oh yea, exploding zombie heads.

So not true anymore. Modern hardware is simply passing the driver level support that windows 2000 is getting especially in the graphics department. Software is also starting to bypass windows 2000 as a viable OS as well in the games dept in particular.
