Windows 2000 was quite snappy on my Pentium 150, and pretty rock solid. It was when I stopped being good at fixing computers because it just worked, so I didn't get much practice.

I did get a BSOD from a few software packages in Win2k, but it was fewer and much farther between than Win9x/me... I didn't bump to XP until after SP3 came out... I also liked Win7 a lot. I haven't liked much of Windows since 7 though.

Currently using Pop + Cosmic.

Win2000 is in the same class as Win95 despite being slightly more stable. It still locked up and crashed more frequently than modern software.

Then you did something special. For me Win2k was at least three orders of magnitude more stable, and based on my buddies that was not exceptional.
