Win2K can do all of the following that Win98 can do (Keep in mind that NT workstations could not do most of the following):
1. Support FAT32.
2. USB support.
3. AGP support.
4. Plug and Play.
5. Support multiple monitors.
6. W98 2nd editions and Windows 2000 support Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
7. W98 and Windows 2000 support FireWire 1394.
8. Long file Name Support.
9. Support DVD.

Benefits of Win2K over Win9x:
1. NTFS file system support.
2. Windows 2000 Profesional supports dual processors (Server supports 4).
3. User / Group security at the folder, file, share, and registry key level.
4. Built in policies for configuration and security.
5. Windows File Protection prevents system files from being over written.
6.Microsoft signs 3rd party device drivers so you know they have been tested.
7. Enhanced power management.
8. Enhanced Plug and Play capabilities (you can actually add a device while the Win2K is running, and it will detect it and install it.)
9. Most system changes can be made without rebooting.
