Windows 2000 was pretty solid, and relatively low on resources, too. For a couple years in the early 2000's my main desktop was a Win2K box with 256 megs of RAM

- hyperman1 5y agoFor me the windows sweet spot is somewhere between 2000 and XP. 2000 was great except some rough edges in e.g. directX, while XP started the decline with things like the fisher price theme and DRM. Win95 was a big step up in terms of front end compared to windows 3.11 and deserves its praise. But don't you dare look under the win95 hood at the almost but not really separate address spaces and the 16/32 bit Frankenstein. Someone described it as putting a Mercedes hood on a trabant undercarriage.
