>>Nope, but neither can NT.
But Windows 2000 CAN.

>>Yep. More than NT.
And Windows 2000 can too.  Plug and Play baby!

Windows 2000 RC 2 is great with TPs.

I have a TP 600e with Win 2000 RC2.  192 megs of RAM.  I partitioned off
2/2/2. 2gigs for Win2000, 2gigs for data and then 2gigs for Linux (128 for
pagefile).

I bought Mandrake 6.1 from CompUSA and install was a breeze.  Partition
Magic didn't work with Win 2000, neither did boot magic though.  I still
boot with a diskette to Linux.
