Hey, I appreciate your support .. Will add them.. I think that it's a good idea that we have separate lists based on officially or unofficially supported..

[Colonel O'Neill 0]

No problem. I wonder if the 98 KernelEx has more API's than KDW and the like for 2000.

Oh there's some repeats. Oops I was just looking through my program files folder.

EDIT: Btw, the last actual MSN version was 7.5 but it was pulled due to security. Oo

I remember 7.5 being XP only....

EDIT: But I see it worked via hacks, but still, people should be using WLM 8.x at least or MSN 7.0.0820, in my opinion..

It turns out that AOL 9.1 is the final version for Win2k, not 9.0vr... Anyway, I added some updates to the original post; thanks reeko124 for the info; added to the list.. Also, thanks os2fan...

Okay, added those, among other things.. Thanks for the support all!

Working: VMWare Workstation 6.5, need to fake registry to say XP, otherwise install disappears without a trace.

Webroot Desktop Firewall 5.8:

It works. I downloaded it, installed it and ran it a couple of days. Then went to read up on it some more and come to find out at other download sites that it said for XP/Vista only. I tested it out at sites that test your firewall and it works with no problems on Win2k. Even their official site said XP/Vista only but it works with win2k. Go figure

BVRP Connection Manager Lite:

I downloaded this because Win2k doesn't have the wireless connection features that XP has. I also got tired of the stuff that came with my Linkys router that you can't disable fully unless you turn off the service. It uses less resources to so thats a plus. Sorry to give little reviews on stuff.

Added some more, including ones that reeko and Col O'Neill posted... Also added mp3tag and Songbird and Steam..
