2000 is from the NT family.
XP is not.

Actually, 2000 is an upgrade of the NT kernel and XP is an offshoot of the upgraded (ie win2000) kernel. The basic core technologies of windows 2000 and XP are the same.
Exactly.  |

Once again Microsoft (the Evil Empire) has pulled a fast one on the masses.... XP is to 2000 as ME is to SE....
I'll stick with SE... and maybe 2000 for a server.

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?
Windows 2000 is NT-5. They just used the turn of the century as a marketing ploy. And XP is just 2000 with some add-ons. A few new wizards and some new policies. Then it was wrapped in a GUI that they thought would be more attractive to the home user. Oh, and lets not forget the new registration policy. If you spend some time in the registry, you will see that they are the same operating systems. XP home is another story. It was intended for the untrained masses, so many of the old configuration tools are missing or hidden. While it is hard to screw it up, it is also hard to reconfigure it away from a base install. And some time in the registry will turn up a few differences from the pro OS’s.
