For the most part no: Some Windows 9x and NT 4.0 drivers will actually work in Windows 2000, but most will not. Unless the hardware you own is out of date, it will probably have a Windows 2000 driver soon. Remember, this operating system isn’t even widely available yet: Give it some time. The other thing you might try is the excellent NT Compatible Web site. This resource has information about getting finicky hardware working in Windows 2000.
