So, what should be considered the greatest operating system of all time? There is a lot of ongoing debate surrounding this question, and you’ll get different answers from every person. But arguably the most popular consensus is that it was Windows XP, the version of Windows released by Microsoft in 2001. It was flexible, versatile, and..just nostalgic. And then you have another vocal crowd saying it was Windows 7, with its slick design, fast and stable environment, and its popularization of the “search bar,” a tool most of us take for granted today. And then you have those *really* bold people who will claim it was Windows 8.1, which further built on to all these things: The last Windows that “valued privacy.”

And these are all valid opinions to have: but what if it goes deeper than that? What about the OS that directly made all their respective great achievements possible? The OS that everyone seems to forget about? Of course, I am talking about Windows 2000. Although primarily marketed as the “business” version of Windows, it was also a clear indicator that things were changing, and that Microsoft was ready for the future. A new millennium, a new Windows. The OS was quite well received and experienced some success during the first two years of its reign, eventually even holding majority market share. And as great and ambitious as this all sounds, the tale of Windows 2000 is a bit tragic in that another similarly named, Windows Millennium Edition, was released at around the same time. Having the “greatest OS of all time” juxtaposed with the “worst OS of all time” certainly hasn’t helped its presence in the spotlight. Although this distinction may not have confused as many people at the time, it certainly does now in retrospect. This has caused Windows 2000’s achievements to be overshadowed, which was further accelerated by the release of Windows XP two years later. But today, we are going to make this distinction crystal clear by highlighting its development, the incredible features it introduced and influenced, and give Windows 2000 the reputation it deserves.
