The funny thing though is that Windows 2000 was never meant for consumers playing games.

They would have to put up with Windows ME, at least in Microsoft's eyes. Which was the first version you could play games on and leave it running for hours between crashes, lol.

I also used Win 2k Pro and it was an amazing leap coming from 98, yes. My laptop came with ME but it sucked so bad I changed it after a week.

> ... Windows ME ... running for hours between crashes

It depended on the definition of "hours" but sometimes the "hours" were very short.
