I pitied the day I had to drop Windows NT otherwise I'd still be using
that.
At least Win2000 was a descendant of NT4 code base, unlike XP which had
lots of the Win95 to WinME (home + gaming support code) included. I read
this somewhere on the net - if this is true, I wouldn't know. But I can
say that Win2000 is fast and very stable.
Windows XP is an Windows NT 5.1 (Windows 2000 was Windows NT 5).
I personally am glad that Microsoft decided to discontinue the 9x line
and focus only on the NT line, because by design the NT architecture is
much safer then the old DOS based one (16 bit DOS driver stubs, no real
memory protection, etc, etc). Also NT has real multi user support.
And just as a sidenote: Windows 2000 contained much of the so called
"home + gaming support code" as well (you're able to run DirectX games
there as well :D )

Sven
