With less than three months until Windows 2000 hits the streets, I’m counting on your input to assemble the Mother of All Windows 2000 Upgrade Guides–just in time for the official launch party in February.
This week’s Challenge is to build the definitive Windows 2000 Emergency Kit. Unfortunately, the Blue Screen of Death is alive and well in Windows 2000, as thousands of beta testers can testify. With my existing NT4 systems, I keep the original CD, service packs, boot disks, and an up-to-date Emergency Repair Disk nearby at all times. Is that strategy sufficient for Windows 2000, or do I need to do more? What would you put in your emergency kit besides boot disks? A copy of your r?sum?? Bill Gates’ unlisted e-mail address? Add your suggestions to the list. I’ll award valuable TechPoints–and maybe even a cool TechRepublic T-shirt–to the best contributions and post the results in two weeks. But don’t delay–this challenge closes at the end of the day on Friday, December 3.
