MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | CategoriesMicroSoft's workstation/server OperatingSystem, obsoleted by Windows2000, which integrates more of the look-and-feel, as well as expanded driver support, of Windows98. Windows2000 was supposed to be the point where the forked server/workstation and home OperatingSystem threads were to be integrated, but that looks to be a few years off again. Windows2000 features a number of benefits over Windows98, including the more secure and journaled NTFS FileSystem? and a true multiuser environment. --DaveJacoby

Yes. (corrections made.) Windows2000 was engineered and marketed to be more part of the home computer market, with expanded USB support, expanded Driver support, and the like. Originally, it was to mark the unification of the WindowsNT and Windows95 product lines, though an addition 95-based OS was releases as WindowsMe?, and home-market NT didn't arrive until WindowsXP?.
