Windows 2000 was where Microsoft's new, original OS came to life.  I
remember telling my fellow nerd buddy at church, in the year 2000,
about my mom and I's then-new computer, and he's looking almost like
he isn't listening but then I mention that it runs Windows 2000, and
suddenly he's intrigued - because he had an NT4 computer, himself.  We
had had discussions about how terrible he thought Win98 was.  But in
any event, the release of the Windows 2000 OS was a milestone in
computing, generally.
