Office 2000 was totally fine too. Apart from clippy.

Win2000 was the last version of windows I installed on any device I owned.

In the server space, both FreeBSD and Linux systems are well-regarded. Linux caught up since that post and receives more support now, obviously, but I wouldn’t flinch when encountering FreeBSD (or other *BSDs for that matter) as a server.

As for Windows… yeah, just look at the news regarding that…
