> do interbase 5.6 runs stabile under Windows 2000?

I have not had Windows 2000 in a production environment yet - and
personally I do not recommend it for such - wait for SP2 or SP3 :-)

However I am currently using Windows 2000 Pro on my development
machine and IB5.6 and IB6 seem to run very well - AFAICT as stable as
they were under NT4.

Windows 2000 (SP1) seems reasonably stable in general, but there are
some interface glitches that are very annoying, and I have some
problems with my firewall software (Zone Alarm Pro).
PGP Personal Edition (PGPDisk often locks up the machine when loading
the first volume - the strange thing is that loading Interbase as an
application seems to stop the problem, hows that for a recommendation
to use Interbase ;-).
