Windows 2000 Server Question

pmistry
Is it possible to update from Windows 2000 Pro to Windows 2000 Server in an unofficial way? Also, anyone here use Windows 2000 Server as their primary OS? How well does it work? How good is networking and ICS? Application support is probably the same as Pro? Games? Dual boot should be possible too.

Hibernation

Alien
Well, thanks to that patch from Windows Update I can now use the hibernate function without losing my ability to use the internet - but this raises a new issue - anyone know how to change the shutdown box so that it shows Hibernate by default instead of Standby.

integrate "run as" in a shortcut??

rgodart
i'm running windows 2000 in administrator account (because of nero buring rom and my tv software that need admin mode to run), but some games need to be run in power user to run fluid. So i'm using the run as command so i don't have to log off and on again to run them.
