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

Isnt this how theyve done things since 95? Every other version is trash so they should be coming out with one that isnt.

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.

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.

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

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.

ME.
rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
ME was after 2000 and before XP.
melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 5 months ago
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.

The problem was they abandoned Socialism. Windows US would have been such a better transition from '98, not to Windows Xtra Profit, thence to the poor, bloated, forgotten, single digits and low tens… But to Windows Comrad Edition and thence to a glorious Communist future where Mainframe governs all equally and we all Thin Clients equally share the FlPOpS!

Well, it was just so self-orientated, having Windows ME. Perfect segway into Lemmy’s arch-nemesis, Capitalism.

I got your joke, but for desktop versions it was 98, then 98SE, then 2000, then ME, then XP.
2000 is still the best Windows NT.
For DOS-based, yes, they went 98SE-ME-stop.

Can I have some of whatever you’re having?

Oh, I currently smoke Tumbleweed, but I’m not sure if this is that or the brain damage.
