I stopped taking Windows seriously after Windows 2000
Windows 2000 was released before I was born.
But I did use 2000 in a 86Box emulated machine. It just feels so good to use. Professional users were treated well!
Oof, right in the middle age!
But yeah, it was the most polished and performant Windows for years - lean and mean. I completely skipped the candy-coated bullshit of XP and eventually had to move to 7 solely for hardware compatibility reasons when I finally had the money to buy modern gaming hardware. What a disappointment that was.
I grew up with Vista and 7, and so have a very soft spot for it.
I use Linux daily, but my nostalgia VM is on Vista with plenty of period correct games! Running in VMWare I found the huge coincidence that the display driver has enough overhead to run the games realistically for that period!
