I have more nostalgia for Windows 2000 than practically anything else from that era. I use mostly Mac and Linux these days but wow do I feel something for win2k

  For me it's XP. That thing was perfect - and would be even today if it had 64bit and 4K support - and of course modern apps and drivers.

    There was a 64bit version of XP. The tiny little whispers on a 4k were unworkable, though. Besides, if an app can't run on 64bit XP, what's the point of running it, anyway?

  Windows 2000 is far and away my favorite Microsoft operating system of all time.

    Same here. I wish I could still run it today. As a desktop, it was awesome: separate user accounts, much more stable than previous versions, etc. I stayed with Win2K Professional as long as I could, holding out until the very end, only switching to XP when I had to. On the server side, Win2K introduced many new features, including, of course, Active Directory, which was amazing (at the time). Windows 2003 Server brought with it some cool new stuff as well, but (just like with my desktops) I had Win2K Server machines that I held onto as long as possible. I really did miss it. The stability (compared to its predecessors) was simply amazing. I've still got the ISO images around here somewhere.
