Finally retired Windows 2000.

I had it running on newer hardware no problem. My last build was in 2009 but I just liked Windows 2000 so much. Everything I had worked just perfectly fine. Resisted XP, Vista, 7... The last year or so started to finally give me problems. Newer programs finally discontinuing compatibility.

My 2013 resolution was to finally retire Win2000 and I am now posting from my new build running Windows 8.

This is some serious retarded shit Microsoft has done but I will get used to it.

What's the longest you have held out on an OS? I used Windows 2000 from April 2000 to January 2013.

But Linus was the original troll.

He started the April fool's joke of Linux, comedians get laid, Linux developers do not.

It was never meant to be anything but a way of distracting all Neckbeards from leaving their basements and fagging up real life with their yaoi and loli and MLp shit.

It wasn't meant to be anything, it was a really bored kid who said 'fak u minix' and released his source code and then watched in terror as people started using it.

Either way, obviously it ain't something I can prove, but I've had sex, so, my end of the argument is over here, whatever you want to say say it as if I pull chicks because I'm not arguing for the other side

Old UIs still there because Microsoft is too lazy to update them. And it's not just one or two, it's dozens, if not hundreds.

Haha wow, MS is the new Apple.

Apple doesn't make things that people want, they make things and tell people that they want it.

MS, like every other business in the world, used to do the opposite. But now people are swallowing W8 because durp it's 2013 and we gots to get the new vershuns.

Good luck finding a working key on your own that others aren't going to also be using.

Oh I know, I used the same code I got from the keygen on literally dozens of computers, so I was just talking out my ass when I said unique. I was actually suggesting unique in that I got it and it is not very likely that anyone else is using that one besides to PCs I myself put it on. Using keys found with google are often found out by MS and shut down every so often. Since this key i generated, not on person has complained about WGA notices.

But it is great. All the good things from 7 are made even better. The only bad things are metro programs which I never use.

So for me, Win8 is polished Win7.

Windows on the home was running on top of MS-DOS back then. Windows NT was used by enterprises instead.

Windows 2000 is Windows NT 5.0, Windows XP is Windows NT 5.1. Windows 95 is Windows 4.0, Windows 98 and 98 SE are an updated Windows 4.0 and Windows ME is Windows 4.9.

Windows 2000 was originally going to be the release to finally merge the consumer and enterprise versions of Windows into a single one, so that everyone could take use of Windows NT. However, this was done with Windows XP instead due to change of plans and the fiasco with Windows ME. Windows XP is actually the fusion of Windows "Neptune" and Windows "Odyssey", which resulted in two merged teams developing Windows "Whistler", which then became Windows XP (as in Windows eXPerience).
