Well... Converting to Windows 2000 from Windows 98 is basically changing
the operating system. Much of the basic architecture is different. If
Win2k drivers always worked fine under Win98 or vice versa, I would be
surprised.

Let me *strongly* advise against using Linux if you are not going to
learn to use Linux applications. If Novell Evolution is not an
acceptible substitute for Outlook 2000 in your mind, you will *always*
be disappointed by what Linux has to offer. You may, however, learn
Linux if you think that proprietary software is evil or you have ethical
problems with pirating software.
