Is it possible to update from Windows 2000 Pro to Windows 2000 Server in an unofficial way?

Also, anyone here use Windows 2000 Server [or Windows.NET Beta] as their primary OS? How well does it work? How good is networking and ICS? Application support is probably the same as Pro? Games? Dual boot should be possible too...

I have never used Server editions before so I was just curious.

I don't think you'd want to try. There would be alot of (illegal?) work involved.

I use it at home (until I finish my current job) It runs like 2kpro. Drivers for voodoo cards and modems etc seem to be all the same.

I've never had any problems. It does require a slightly higher spec machine. And if you want to use it properly (install AD) then you'll need a second computer at least. Active Directory requires an active network connection to install, but there is a way to get around this, using a piece of virtual hardware.

ICS works fine, but if you're serious you can use RRAS instead to set up a networked internet sharing solution.

I rate it.
