Windows 2000 is a computer operating system released by Microsoft in February 17th, 2000[1]. This system was also known as "NT 5.0".
Versions
As with many other Windows operating systems, there were several editions released. These editions included Professional, Server, Advanced Server,[2] Standard, Small Business, Professional, Premium, Developer.[3], and Datacenter Server. The latest version of Windows 2000 which was released was build 2195 (Service Pack 4), which was released on September 13, 2005.
Features
Windows 2000 includes many features, including NTFS 3.0,[4] RAID-1 and RAID-5, active directory services, [5] 128-Bit Encryption Support,[6] and much, much more.
Notes
- Due to a legal settlement involving Sun Microsystems, Windows 2000 is not offically available for download. The only places it is offered are sources with questionable intent and security.
- Windows 2000 was the last Windows operating system to use the "boxy" grey skin by default. All later versions used a "fancier" style, while sometimes offering the Pre-Windows XP skin as a selectable option
- A planned consumer version for Windows 2000, code name Neptune, had a similar UI but was canceled.[7][8]
