Where's Windows ME?

It should be in Windows 2000's place. ME was a Windows 9x system, 2000 was part of the NT family.
Yeah. Windows 2000 was rock solid compared to 95 and 98 and became the underpinnings for future consumer releases of windows...
It is too long ago to properly remember, but during this time when building my desktops I always insisted on getting NT and then Windows 2000 in place of the consumer versions. Had some funny discussions with shops when buying licenses.
I also remember using NT 4.0 (with the "hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to login" quirk) and then 2000 at home as a kid. Dad, being a sysop/dev/IT manager/"tech guy", really liked the stability of NTs. It took the first Service Pack for XP to really start catching on. Good times!
Probably a repressed memory.
It's crashing. Seriosly is a good thing that they did not mention it although some people claimed it was stable on their computer.
Didn't fit the narrative.
