XP is hard to beat being the evolution of NT and 2000, but I definitely miss Windows 2000 the most. It was super stable/clean 💛

I haven't used Windows NT 4.0 much, but I have used its successors. Choosing between the simplicity of 2000 and the versatility of XP is a tough choice. But I really miss the XP days.

NT/95 —> XP was hands down the best era 👏 I loved my 8-bit systems and DOS/3.1, but you just can’t beat the early web days, imo ❤️

2k was super stable, but it took way too long to boot just like NT did, and neither felt very smooth or intuitive in day-to-day use. XP definitely booted way faster and felt much more optimized and polished, perhaps at a slight cost to stability (though, I would argue XP surpassed 2k in both stability and security with SP2.) As I was then doing IT support for both businesses and home users, it was FANTASTIC to have everything unified under XP instead of the night and day support differences of 9x/ME and NT/2k. XP was a hell of an era!

2000 was so good, simple, clean and stable. XP has it's place in my heart, especially as it matured but 2k really felt like the core of what a rock solid OS meant to those who appreciated it, especially if for my linux brothers back in the day.
