Win2k was as good as Microsoft got. Reliable, stable, functional. Happily that was the last Windows platform I developed for.

  Apart from the fact you had to reboot to change just about anything and there was no USB support, it wasn't bad for the era. Stable where MacOS at the time was anything but, with the no-nonsense Windows 95 theming. As far as a desktop operating system, it was a pretty good package. You didn't have the command-line tooling of Linux, but at least you could install it on your computer without having to dive into X configuration hell.

    Pretty sure Win2k did have USB support, though you may have needed to install a SP.

      At the time the "service pack" was called Windows XP. Maybe they added it after XP came out, though.
