Windows 2000 commercial

Actually something good came out of the guys at Redmond. But then again, Windows 2000 was a pretty good OS.

Windows 2000 maybe its ended by Service Pack 4 but the next pack service of Windows 2000 Service Pack 5

[devothj]

@MrArnejoJoshua Actually, Windows NT 4.0 made it all the way to Service Pack 6. Another fun fact is that Windows 2000 is NT 5.0 and XP is NT 5.1.

@devothj Why did support end on July 13 2010? A lot of people loved it.

[devothj]

@CandaceGertrudeFlynn I'll guess you'll have to ask Microsoft about that. The obvious reason is that they want people to switch to Windows Vista or 7, and saving money on support.

However, on a philosophical note, why should anything as complete as Windows 2000 undergo major changes (sometimes for the worse, read: Vista)? As long as it does it's job, I don't see any reason to change it unless the changes makes it better at what it does.

I NEED A VIRTUAL HARD DISK

[devothj]

@TheVistaLover Actually, you only need a version of Windows 2000. And a copy of Parallels or Virtual PC. The so-called virtual disk you need is acually just free space on your disk :)

PCs and Macs should join up for a fantastic machine compatible with everything.

@ComeAndSeevX I'd use Windows 2000 whenever I have the chance, even today.

But I don't have the chance!

Windows 2000 was a great OS when it came out. It was reliable, ran good, and it wasn't half-dos based like 95/98/ME. I remember so many headaches with having to reinstall Windows 95 every month because of some issue.

Windows XP was a fantastic follow-up to 2000 and Vista was also a good, reliable OS that I used for 2 years without having to reinstall it ever.

Windows 7 is basically like what Windows 95 did with Windows 3.11 by dumbing it down for the general population.

@davejoshmom1 the design looks good, but microsoft needs to remember that people dont all have touch screens, swiping gestures arent that useful when you have a mouse

[siriusgamer]

@davejoshmom1 i didnt see the preview 1 month ago...

[larewwedxhhh19]

Still using 2000 (And ME) today. It's compatible with the past, present and a good part of the future.

@MuCTePCuCaDMuH Because Windows XP is a "special case" for the fact that when Microsoft was developing Longhorn (early Windows Vista), they had a delay of 3 years when they realized about creep featurism, and for Windows XP it meant an extension of its lifetime since it was the most recent release while Windows 2000 was older and was already set to last 10 years.The Longhorn delay of 3 years meant that Windows XP lifetime instead of being 10 years would be 3 additional years, making it 13 years.

[SportaMega]

@davejoshmom1 Idiot.

[SportaMega]

@CandaceGertrudeFlynn Because it's obsolete, and Microsoft said in June 2005 that they were ending the standard support for Windows 2000 ended and that it would be extended 5 years until July 2010 including only paid support and updates.
