Hi everyone.
I discovered today August 13, 1999 that Norton AntiVirus for Windows NT can runs fine on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 if you have installed it in FAT partition. Yesterday I changed NTFS5 by FAT because the brutal fragmentation. I performed new update for my virus definition files and in the photo below you can see my live update:

Today I tested the performance of several Windows 32 bits applications as Macromedia Dreamweaver and I discovered that DW and Fireworks are optimized just for Windows 2000! Yeaahh, man, I don't use DW on Windows NT4 SP5 because it runs slow in comparison with Namo, Hot Dog and WebExpress and for several times I received Dr. Watson's banner about illegal address memory access by Dreamweaver. Now, on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 I decided test the DW's performance and I'm really surprised! It's running just fine here without Dr. Watson's banners. In the photo below you can see DW started on my Windows 2000:

In the photo below you can see Fireworks running fine on my Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3:

Also I discovered today that several applications that can't to be installed on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 because the install shield can't access correctly the Registry (that have a new structure in Windows 2000 and is not the same Registry of Windows NT 4.0) can runs fine if you have a Windows 95 in dual boot. You simple install the program under Windows 95, reboot jumping Windows 2000 and click the executable: Windows 2000 runs the applications quickly, get the data that it Registry needs and you can create objects on the desktop and call the program from the Start menu. Unfortunately some programs that runs fine on NT4 really can't be installed and don't runs on Windows 2000 and one of this is Embellish.
