Windows 2000

NT-based corporate system

Windows 2000 is a Microsoft operating system released in 2000, designed primarily for business and server environments.

It built on Windows NT technology rather than the consumer-oriented Windows 98 line, offering improved stability and networking capabilities.

The office still runs Windows 2000 on some legacy machines.

It was succeeded by Windows XP.
