Any Windows 2000 users out there?

Just wondering. I like to do some open-source development in my spare time (okay, LOTS of it) and one little toy I made is a small program called SmoothText for 2k.

I use win2K on a virtual machine setup (I am running WinXP on the host machine)... I needed an older operating system for a few programs of mine. I've just downloaded SmoothText, I'll let you know how it turns out for me.

I use it on my sageTV server on a 26" lcd TV. It's a little blurry. LOL

Quietleaf, I installed SmoothText on my Win2000 virtual machine. While the program itself seemed to trigger no anomalies or problems on it's own, I did not notice any difference in any display characteristics on my LCD monitor vs my triditional one for my virtual machine running Windows 2000.
Just thought I'd mention that, but it probably has more to do with the fact that my host machine is running Windows XP, and that Win2000 is only running off of 'emulated' drivers.

In time I will be restoring an old PC that will eventually become a backup PC for the family network.... it will either be running Win2K Pro or Win2K Server. I will plug this machine into my LCD monitor when I get it done (lol, not any time soon mind you) and then try your program on a true PC running Windows 2000, not a virtual beast.

Unless I am missing something, I'll keep you posted.

There's a new version of it up and I definitely recommend grabbing it...

Cool, let me know what you think of it. The current version is 0.4.1. I've spent a lot of time on it, and hope it's useful.

I didn't notice any difference on the VM, but Quietleaf, I haven't forgotten ya... I just won't be restoring that old PC I mentioned... I needed parts :hick:
