    Windows 2000 was for enterprise, not home use. 8 was for mobile & touchscreens (at first) and that failed miserably yes, hence their 8.1 release. Just like ME they tried hopping on a bandwagon and it flopped. Two major flops in 23 years is not a bad record. But my point remains that when whatever new OS comes out, people look back at the last one with rose tinted glasses.

      My gran had a pc with 2000 on it. I still have an old laptop with 8 on it. 8.1 failed too. Don’t act like those OS’s were nonexistent.

      Nobody looks at those 3 OS’s with rose tinted glasses. 10 isn’t the best operating system, but let’s not pretend that 11 is such a major upgrade that people will fall over themselves to get it. That’s literally what the OP is about.

        From the days of DOS till today Windows 2000 is definitely my favorite, the most cohesive, straightforward and consistent experience. For now I just hope software will keep supporting LTSC through till the end of support.
