Everything after Win 2000 was a bad idea. Enterprise or not.

Windows 2000 was the last version where Dave Cutler was fully in charge of Windows.

Things started going downhill after that.

Windows 2000 was a bug riddled, poorly architected punching bag for malware.

Things definitely went up-hill AFTER Windows 2000.

What on earth would cause someone to say Windows 2000 was a good release? It wasn't even a good release when it came out, and it definitely didn't stand the test of time.

An unsubstantiated insistence that a single human being is the bus factor for a thousand-engineer org?

I'm just as confused as you, everyone I've ever met who liked Windows 2000 went on to love XP SP3, usually with the W2K skin on it.

7 was pretty good. But I may be looking through the glasses of nostalgia and my love for the frutiger aero style
XP was arguably better.
