- hef19898 5y agoIt is too long ago to properly remember, but during this time when building my desktops I always insisted on getting NT and then Windows 2000 in place of the consumer versions. Had some funny discussions with shops when buying licenses.
- lou1306 5y agoI also remember using NT 4.0 (with the "hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to login" quirk) and then 2000 at home as a kid. Dad, being a sysop/dev/IT manager/"tech guy", really liked the stability of NTs. It took the first Service Pack for XP to really start catching on. Good times!
