Windows 2000 was the pinnacle of Windows UX, change my mind.

Why would I change your mind when you speak the truth?

I do wonder what the Apple equivalent to Windows 2000 would be, maybe Mac OS 8?

The Platinum theme used by MacOS 8-9 was probably the closest-looking to that Windows 95 look and feel. And since Windows 2000 was a combination of that old look and feel on top of a modern kernel (NT), one might argue that the Mac OS X Developer Preview was the nearest Apple equivalent.

The first two Developer Preview versions of Mac OS X used the Platinum theme, not the Aqua theme that ultimately shipped with 10.0.
