Windows 2000 was the peak of windows. It was a stable OS that didn't get in the way. No spying or adverts. To steal a phrase it just worked. Honestly it was down hill from here. Changes just for the sake of it, eye candy that made things worse (it would have been fine had it not reduced functionality or stability). Services that are resource hogs. Microsoft have forgotten that a good OS should be almost transparent.
It was basically a vintage Windows XP!!! So underrated, though…. Could’ve been both for Business AND Home users, since the name/branding was so unique and iconic!!! This could’ve been where the home users get the NT kernel, and then XP is an updated version.
@elijahtorres2688 yeah....2000 pro was NT 5 and XP was NT 5.1. I think 2003 server was basically based on XP and was NT 5.2. 2000 is a great OS. 100% stable with known good hardware and have had well over a year uptime from 2000 Pro before and XP too.
Windows 10 is one of the most successful and fastest systems..and as long as you have problems with it, you must change the HDD to an SSD, and the RAM must be expanded to at least 8 gigabytes, and if you have viruses or programs that were downloaded illegally, you must delete them and periodically update the Windows system and make sure that there are no malicious programs, and also the processor must be i3 (eighth generation or higher) on the desktop.. or on the laptop the processor must be an i5 of the eighth generation or higher..if the problems do not end with all of the above, you must copy your important files and then format The computer.. it will be as fast as a rocket and as smooth as tap water.

One of my computers at infant school had Windows 2000 and i was always on there messing about not knowing what things do but had a huge obsession with Windows XP which all the newer machines had, like my teachers laptop she always hooked up to the interactive whiteboard, but forbidded amy pupils (ie me) from touching it and would go absolutely nuts if i touched it whether they be putting the lid down or clicking the start button and she be like "DO NOT TOUCH THAT IT'S MINE!!!"

I wish I could get a browser and basic internet working on Windows 2000 which is installed on an old laptop of mine but I can't. :( At least I got audio, graphics, and DVD playback to work, so I can use it like a DVD player and for some old games.

@Float Samples That sounds plausible at first glance…shame that it’s absolute nonsense. Go to system properties on any Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 or NT system and you will see the memory reported in megabytes. I checked some of my systems just in case I was misremembering something. I’ve got nearly 20, working, vintage PC’s (win 95-2000) to hand and every single one of them reports the memory in MB.
Back in its time it was great, windows 2000 professional was very stable for what it was. Was a breath of fresh air for Windows Millenium users at least lolz
XP was Win2K with eye candy. If one had experienced NT 4.0 with manual driver installation and Win98 with its instability, Windows 2000 was an absolute revelation. It had NT’s stability and plug and play drivers. I was smitten. I liked XP, but stayed with 2000 as long as I could because, believe it or not, I loved the startup and log off sounds. I wish it was easier to use them with Win10 and 11. I’m no Luddite. 64 bit rocks, but the bloat, ads and spyware since Windows 7 really put me off. I’m tired of having to strip that stuff out every time I install Windows. I’d rather pay MS for the OS and not have to deal with a web account and the rest. Ah well. I do miss Windows 2000.

I skipped windows 2000. It was terrible. Even windows 2000 server was full of security leaks and had to make issues so i used it for a week then went back.
Been a while. Hope all is well with you.

Very well said! 👍 Agree 👍
Windows 7 is a close second, but I have a huge soft spot for Win2K. It was the first NT with Plug and Play and love at first byte.
Windows XP and 7 are very close. I had almost 0 issues on XP and 7 back in the day.
Wow-that setup looks clean after all these years,it’s very well kept!
Thx 👍
I think 2000 might well be my favourite Windows version to date. Super stable. This brings back memories. Thanks for sharing!

Best Windows startup and log off sounds ever.
And we wonder why we were so patient back in the day lol

To me the most stable version that I used to work.Wonderful days 😁
