    Me too. 2000 seemed… Slow compared to XP on the same hardware, but to be fair the hardware I had was cobbled together from parts that my father’s employer was going to throw out

      It looked a lot sleeker too. I had my UI heavily customized, including the boot and login screens, and it made me feel like such a hacker. 2000 made me feel like I was working at an office.

      Microsoft put a lot of work into speeding up the boot times with XP. Windows 2000 booted glacially slow by comparison. Though I’d say once booted, 2000 was a bit leaner and quicker.
