Windows 2000... BLAH!!!

Joe · 02-18-2000, 12:33 AM

I went on a witch hunt tonight for Windows 2000 Drivers. Only to find that all the hardware companies suck. They couldnt get a functional driver done for ANYTHING in the 3 years Win NT 5 has been around in testing!!!

... I am pretty pissed at most of the companies.
Here are the companies that need to get with it that I have found:

Logitech
3Dfx (!!!!!!!!)
Matrox
Mustek
Xircom/Entrega
3Dfx!
Altec Lansing
Creative Labs
Diamond MM
S3

If you know any others please post them.

I wont be doing any indepth testing of win 2k in the dual box I am building for sometime. I am going to be doing it with Win98SE (single CPU) and a little win 2K for SMP.

I think there needs to be a petition started to get thos lazy bastards at 3Dfx to make a driver for the Voodoo 2 for windows 2K. Their not making one is just total BS to the customer.
