Can I dual boot in Windows 2000?

You can configure your computer to start Windows 2000, Windows NT, and either Windows 95 or Windows 98. However, you cannot configure a computer to multiple boot Windows 95 and Windows 98. Both Windows 95 and Windows 98 use the same boot file. Therefore, multiple booting Windows 95 and Windows 98 at the same time is not supported. Your installations are less prone to problems if you install Windows 95 or Windows 98 before you install Windows NT and Windows 2000.

Are NT 4.0 system policies compatible in Windows 2000?

FAQ / Tips & Tricks : GPanswers.com
Actually (and unfortunately) yes. The old-style NTCONFIG.POL files can, indeed, affect both Windows 2000 and Windows XP workstations. And, as always, use with care, because these policies are considered preferences which “tattoo” the registry, where (by and large) Group Policy settings do not tattoo. (See the FAQ “What is the difference between Policies and Preferences?”) There is a single password policy which all users in the domain must embrace.

Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host.
