wasn't 2000 just a business only OS?

2000 was definitely marketed to businesses, but I think a bunch of people switched to it after the ME clusterfuck before XP came out.

Yes. It was pretty much an OS for the dot com boom-type business crowd

Windows 2000 was Windows 98 SE with a nicer default font and minus the crashing.

No, Windows 2000 was based on Windows NT. It has a completely different lineage to Windows 95/98. Windows 2000 became Windows XP, and the 95/98/Me side was abandoned.

Yes, a kernel that didn't suck. But most people don't care what a kernel is.

No, at one point that literally was the neckbeard OS to use even for gaming. I remember it well. Cause ME was ghey basically. The idea was that 2000 was basically ME without the ghey so 2000 was the best until XP but lots of users kept with 2000 cause XP was ghey until like SP2 or something.

Windows ME was conceived and launched in just six months, literally just backported a bunch of win2k features onto a win98 base because otherwise there wouldn't be a product launch in time.

And it fucking shows.
