Except 98SE-2000-XP were all good. 2000 not worse, but better than the other two.

Well your leaving window ME out of that list which came right after 98SE and is widely considered a turd. I also wouldn't put 2000 in with them as it was an operating system designed for business use while the other 2 were consumer oriented.

95, 98, 98SE might be a pretty decent stretch though. NT4, 2000, and XP could be a good stretch on the business side. If you ignore NT4's poor driver support.

Still though, Windows 2000 Professional was king even on the user desktop. Imo as a user, it's only beaten by Windows 7.

I used 2000 Server, but yes. It technically ran everything that XP ran, but was faster then and looked nicer.

No, ME was the last of the DOS-based ones, but came out after 2000. Which is what I meant.

Who said that? 2000 was not a server edition, if something. Naming like 2003 and 2012 and 2008 for server versions came later.

So there were 2000 Server and 2000 Professional.

ME.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

ME was after 2000 and before XP.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was pretty close, I remember seeing both for sale at the same time, and starting about the same time, and 2000 persisting longer, so I just assumed different markets or something.

I guess MS expected that there would be people who'll need or prefer a DOS-based Windows.

But ME was so unstable that they used 98SE.

Mmmmmmm but also I was literally a child so maybe defer to anyone else's info here.
