Woah there cowboy. I've been on waiting lists for any serious at home gym equipment since April. Not a peep, but I refuse to pay Marketplace/Craigslist scalpers. I was lucky to get resistance bands and those have been working well

Call me cynical, but Win2k was probably developed by a small and tight-knit group of engineers, PMs and designers. It felt focused and ran most software well. I think if I remember correctly, Win2k was meant to replace the Windows 98/D
