The architecture has been changed fundamentally. AFAIK the old windows 2000 had flaws beyond repair. On the other hand the UI overlay build on UI overlay built on UI overlay, making everything a html page etc was terrible direction

You might be thinking of win9x. Win2k had no flaws and was perfect in all ways. I will not be taking questions.

My bet is on Windows Millennium Edition (Windows ME). That was broken version. Windows 2000 was good.

While WinMe was 98 successor and meant for home use, Win2k was business oriented.

God WinME was such hot garbage. Windows 2000 Workstation ran everything that ME ran. I fucking gamed on it, and did everything. It was faster and more stable, than ME. I never understood why people I knew who were computer nerds ran that steaming pile of shit.

Guys please install fresh windows 2000 and connect it to the internet. And 3...2...1... You got powned

> Win2k had no flaw

Win2k could only display 16-color icons in its systray

Nobody needs more than 16-color icons.

Interestingly enough Windows 7 boots faster (in a VM) than both Windows 10 and Windows XP. It feels faster than Windows 10 while running too.
