A much user-friendlier and hardware supportive version of the Microsoft Windows NT family of Operating Systems. Windows 2000 while not officially declared as NT 5.0 is basically just Windows NT 5.0 with Plug and Play support, EFS, NTFS 5.0 and a host of other features that are not available in Windows NT 4.x.

Probably the only fast and stable OS Microsoft has ever made. Windows 2000 (aka: Win2k) is based on the NT 5.0 kernel and is the predecessor to Windows XP, it's obese cousin.
Win2k will run almost all software made for WinXP, but since M$ wants your money, they have begun to intentionally cripple software to only work under WinXP, eg; Windows Media Player 10.

Being both fast and stable, this was contrary to Microsoft's commitment to bloated and buggy software, so Windows XP was released to address the issues with Windows 2000.

Looks like Windows ME, sounds like Windows ME, tastes like Windows ME. But, brother, it ain't Windows ME. I would give half a lung (not MY lung, mind you) to get this OS, or atleast WinXP.
Mmm... Win2000.

A mistake made by a programmer, who accidentally added two extra zeroes at the end of what was supposed to be Windows 2.0.
