Where did you see 4.0.* (or are you just making the point that IF we saw this, it would mean that)?

What can I say. I appreciate professional quality and usability, over brightly colored novelty a.ka windows 8, 10, and mac os. Fuck linux what a waste of time.

...and no TCP/IP protection, a maximum of 4GB RAM on a highly depreciated 32-bit operating system, long file name support disabled, baud rate constantly/randomly reverting to 9600, frequent hanging/locking up, loses its shit when 52nd IP address reached, redundant pop-ups for tasks "completed successfully", bugs/exploits/registry corruption...

Lived through it, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and burned it in effigy. Not exactly what I would call "professional quality and usability", and I wasn't properly impressed with new Windows versions until XP hit the scene.

Maybe your experience differed, but I was glad to be out of that sea of insanity and ME was not a sufficient improvement imho.

You know the old saying? Linux is free, if your time is worthless.

Windows 2000 was better for every day office work than most other contemporary operating systems at the time. You know what's the best program on macintosh? Microsoft Office.

I wouldn't know... our offices kept with Windows 98/NT until XP. Helping folks troubleshoot their Win2000 was a larf, and ME was even worse. Life truly began around the time XP released SP2, and BF1942 Desert Combat Mod finally had a successor in BF2: PR, and all the early growing pains of Windows faded into the past along with the A: drive
