Hi and welcome to the forums!

I see you are from Calcutta! It's nice to have members from everywhere in the world. Especially when you know that contries like India are actually very advanced in tech (Google and Microsoft have offices there).

By the way, I'd like to point out that support on Windows 2000 ends in a week, so subforums for it wouldn't be much use.

Regards,
FC

but whatabout XP or Vista sir?

XP is still on until 2012, or so. Vista is definitly going to be used longer as well, so those two would be a good idea for new subforums.
Though, I have seen more XP users on the forums that Vista users...

By the way, no need to call me sir, I'm 15.

Hard to believe but happy to see.........coz as a software engineering student the increase of IT knowledhe has made me very happy!!!Keep going on dear.Yu will surely be succeeded in future!!!!God bless you!!!

Hi mistu4u and welcome !

Welcome to the forum, mistu4u! As Fire Cat has pointed out, Win 2K goes unsupported as of next week, but XP will be here until April 8, 2014. Vista, on paper will live longer than that, but it's already dead as we speak. XP is the #1 OS and Windows 7 is #2, in the world. By the end of next year, those numbers will reverse, because Windows 7 is selling 7 copies every tick of the clock, and there's no going back now.

This applies only to XP machines that have SP 3. If you don't have it, support for your machine dies with Win2K

That's right, to the ones who for no apparent reason refused XP SP3 all this time, it's now or never. XP SP2 dies along with Win 2K (except for XP 64 bit users). XP SP3 is a small, painless upgrade, so get it while you still can. I have three copies of it myself, "just in case".
