ME was after 2000 and before XP.

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.

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.
