Windows 2000 Problem Program List

We've compiled a list of programs that you should NOT use. Most of this information came from Microsoft's Release Notes which you can view here.

Most of the programs that have problems with Windows 2000, their problems are minor, however we can't indicate their problems because of the amount of programs. You can read about a specific program using the release notes at Microsoft's own beta site by clicking here. You will be unable to download Windows 2000 from this site.

WE WILL REPEAT AGAIN, MOST OF THE PROGRAMS LISTED DO NOT HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS 2000, THEY HAVE PROBLEMS THAT WOULD PREVENT CERTAIN FEATURES FROM WORKING PROPERLY IN WINDOWS 2000.
