Windows 2000 was peak Windows UX. XP was tolerable, but already started the decline with gimmicky UI stuff that made things actually worse.

XP through 7 at least had Classic mode, so you could get it looking like 2k. RIP classic mode.

Give me Windows 2000 with WiFi support and security fixes and I'd be happy forever.
