You might be thinking of win9x. Win2k had no flaws and was perfect in all ways. I will not be taking questions.

My bet is on Windows Millennium Edition (Windows ME). That was broken version. Windows 2000 was good.

While WinMe was 98 successor and meant for home use, Win2k was business oriented.

God WinME was such hot garbage. Windows 2000 Workstation ran everything that ME ran. I fucking gamed on it, and did everything. It was faster and more stable, than ME. I never understood why people I knew who were computer nerds ran that steaming pile of shit.

> Win2k had no flaw

Win2k could only display 16-color icons in its systray

Nobody needs more than 16-color icons.
