That depends on how much you want to learn Maya. If it''s worth the $$$ for the Win2k upgrade to you, go right ahead. One word of warning though, PLE puts pretty big watermarks on any images you render.
As far as why it''s NT/2k/XP only, I don''t know specifically, but I suspect that Maya uses something that''s only in the NT based kernel and not in the 9x kernel.

i try maya3 in win98 but i''m unable to install it.
In any case, for a serious work, you MUST use a NT system, 95, 98 and ME is only for home-users.

black_mage sure doesn''t sound like he knows about OS''s
WinME = Win98 + extras
WinXP = Win2k + extras
So basically you have the case that Windows XP is the newest but also the slowest. If you have a monster system 1.6GHz & 512MB and you can get either Windows XP or 2k you might as well get XP. However if you have a lower PC <1000 and 128MB get Window 2k. Win 2k is fast and very stable (and a bit smaller than XP).
Don''t bother with WinME since it uses the same kernel as win98.
As for PLE, I haven''t used it since I''ve got a copy of Maya 2.5 However I find it runs faster on 2k than XP but that''s just on my computer.

I''m not updating now. I think I''m not allowed to use models in a free game and share it because it says that it''s only allowed to use for learning purpoces etc.

what?
xp=98 with good graphics
2000=so-so.
although im a mac guy, if you were to install windows on a machine *shudder* then go with 2k. however you wont be able to render anything well, because there is a HUGE watermark with every 3d model you make. actually, my recommendation for a 3d modeler thats free(err has a free version), and its actually quite good, is gmax - www.discreet.com/products/gmax/gmaxconsumer/

Actually, no. I have p4 1.5 ghz machines at school with 52 mb of RAM running win XP in the tech lab. when i absolutely need to go in there, and use a wintel machine, xp crashes on me constantly while im running-listen to this-photoshop. 2000 is running in the library, and is much more stable while im doin graphic editing.
