out of curiosity, are you running W2000 rc2 or W2000 final?

Well, for my main work machine, it's NT4 service pack 6. I've only tried RC2 of Win2k so far, but not in a long-term usage environment.

Interesting to hear about your problems with the RTM version. Like I said, I'll wait through a couple of service packs before fully commiting to it. As much as I praise NT, I still prefer to let the rest of the world beta-test the release version for a while first. :-)

Your problem with Ctrl-alt-del not bringing up the Task Manager is interesting. In NT4, I have literally never had that problem. Then again, since I can't run any DirectX games under NT4, I've never been in a situation where the screen is completely locked up by an app. I guess that's probably what's happened to you: A directX game locks up, and although you can get the task manager to come up, you can't see it because the screen is grabbed by DirectX. That's been a problem under 95/98 for a long time. The addition of DirectX to NT5 just brings the problem right along with it.
