I didn't use Windows back then. Could somebody post a screenshot of what it would have looked like in the same year?

- pmjordan 16y agohttp://www.google.com/images?q=windows+2000+screenshot http://www.google.com/images?q=windows+2000+screenshot although I suppose most people were still using Windows Me, the last DOS-based Windows, rather than Windows 2000, which descended from NT. They looked pretty similar, though: http://www.google.com/images?q=windows+me+screenshot http://www.google.com/images?q=windows+me+screenshot Windows XP was released a year later and was the first release to unify the workstation and desktop lines on the same foundation (with the Home & Professional variants).

I'm a foaming-at-the-mouth OS X fan now, but I still find Windows 2000 more palatable as a day-to-day sort of UI compared to the first few releases of OS X. At the time, Windows beat OS X in some areas that are no longer important.. like very easy to resize windows and more consistent minimize/maximize behavior, all of which are less important in a high resolution world.
- modeless 16y agoI still think Windows is significantly better in the window management department. Exposé is nice, but Windows 7's mouse gestures for maximize/restore are just brilliant, I prefer the taskbar to the dock, and the top menu is a liability now that many apps are ditching menu bars altogether.
