> When it debuts in February, Windows 2000 Professional will sell for an estimated retail price of $319, the same as its predecessor, Windows NT 4 Workstation.
Note that there was no "home" edition of Windows 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2000
So it's one of 2, 3, or 4.
- ptero 4y agoThank you for the info! As I said, I definitely remember Win2k, but not how I got it. My guess is OEM CD to be most likely, then bootleg, then full retail. Another option was student bookstore. Microsoft sold its wares at universities at steep discounts. Edit: a sister comment jogged my memory. I bet it was either a giveaway by an EECS dept or a heavily discounted disc from the university bookstore. Which is why I do not remember paying a noticeable sum for it.
