title: I've come out the other
---

I've come out the other side. Amazingly enough, I only had to reinstall two applications: my virus scanner and web browser. All my email survived. And, my first impressions are great. I like Windows 2000. I am using Stardock's wonderful [Object Desktop](http://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/), so my GUI doesn't even look like Windows to begin with, and changing to W2000 didn't affect me there at all. If you picked up my laptop right now, you would think I was using Apple's OS X.
