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.
