Windows 2000 professional - Lemmy.World

Best MS operating system ever IMO. Rock solid. Absolutely could not fault it. I switched to Linux before XP.
I greatly preferred XP to 2000. 2000 still needed a ton of configuration, and device specific drivers that were difficult to find. XP simplified a lot of that with their PNP support, but they still had robust configuration options for power users.
Me too. 2000 seemed… Slow compared to XP on the same hardware, but to be fair the hardware I had was cobbled together from parts that my father’s employer was going to throw out
It looked a lot sleeker too. I had my UI heavily customized, including the boot and login screens, and it made me feel like such a hacker. 2000 made me feel like I was working at an office.
