- flatline 16y agoI still think fondly of Win2k, it was fast and stable, but it was also the source of most of the publicity about Microsoft's security practices. There were a slew of critical updates till around 2004 when things started to settle down. From what I can tell, 10 years on, Windows 7 is the first noteworthy improvement.
- bmelton 16y agoUpvoted -- I wanted to say something to that effect in my previous rant, except that I was a late adopter to Win2k, and all the pain I remember hearing about was pre-SP2 (which I didn't join until after). Regardless, I fondly remember Windows 2000, though I also remember it as a MUCH more spartan system than 7 is, and 7 easily trounces it, in my humble opinion.
