2000 was peak-Windows for me; the stability of NT 4, but with the addition of USB-support. But you're being a needlessly argumentative, by any real definition

But you're being a needlessly argumentative, by any real definition all versions of Windows have been "real operating systems".
- IntelMiner 8y agoXP was a gnawing (but likely necessary) step back from Windows 2000 in many ways, mostly on the UI side of things, at least in its early days Brushing all the checkboxes and menus it could under the rug in favor of those stupid "Wizards" gives me a headache even just reminiscing about it "Internet Connection Wizard" "Help Wizard" "Accessibility Wizard"
- pjmlp 8y agoVersions 1 up to 3 weren't really real operating systems.
- lbruder 8y agoI still fire up my trusty old Win2k VM from time to time. Fast, stable, simple, intuitive. Along with Delphi 7 it's incredible how productive we used to be some 15 years ago. Documentation was sooo good back then.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoAgreed. 2000 and 2003 were peak-Windows for me. I used my trusty 2003 version from MSDN AA for years, skipping XP entirely, and then jumping straight to Vista with hardware change. Windows 7 was a-ok too, but my best memories are still with 2000/2003.
