Microsoft Windows 2000 is now very suitable for gaming with recently released games, especially ones from Microsoft.

Your installations are less prone to problems if you install Windows 95 or Windows 98 before you install Windows NT and Windows 2000.

Well, it seems I was mistaken in my original response to this question. Several WinME users have reported that they have no trouble running their older DOS games in this environment, though I still have yet to hear back from anyone running Win2K. Apparently WinME does provide enough DOS compatibility to be able to run these older games, though I'm currently not aware of what needs to be done (if anything) to get it working properly. Anyone care to enlighten me? =)
