Windows XP holds far more features, but I'd personally run Windows 2000 on a Pentium 4 and older, especially if the PC has less than 1gb of ram. At this point, the hardware is likely limited and cannot run a bunch of modern features many programs require. So, Windows 2000 is simply more optimized. But, if I had a Pentium M laptop, I'd personally choose Windows XP. Windows XP is perfect for PCs with 1gb of ram, has TTS, epub and modern PDF readers, a far larger library of useful software, more peripheral hardware access, and bluetooth 4.0, where Windows 2000 only has Bluetooth 3.0 (devices are harder to find).
i ran Win Xp on pentium 3 dell 677 Mhz with 256 ram i did all kinds of thing Lol. not only that, i had multi OS, such as Win 98 and 2000 along side with XP in 1 Hard Drive.😅
Last I knew, XP actually WAS 2000 - just with the added multimedia capabilities of ME. It was after SP1 for both, that they separated paths and went different directions. (2K a business workstation, XP more universal - and more enhanced.)
Yeah, when it comes to backwards-compatibility with Win9x games and applications, Windows XP is the clear winner. Despite all that, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Windows 2000, because it was my very first introduction to “3D Pinball for Windows: Space Cadet.” I didn’t know back then that it was actually a limited version of the Space Cadet pinball table that was included in "Full Tilt! Pinball."
Windows 2000 was a kind of a "stable beta" for what would eventually become Windows XP. It told driver manufacturers to start working on drivers for NT, because NT is the future. It's also the reason why Windows 7 was well received and Windows Vista was a bad experience to the majority, (Vista drivers work on Windows 7 as well) but a little different.
It's disappointing really the way Windows 2000 was gimped to not be able to run things after XP launched when they are practically identical from an OS standpoint (NT5 vs NT 5.1) but the apps would run on XP just fine. It's almost like they left 2000 to die off on purpose for the promotion of XP. You can have a passable internet browser with XP which is something you can't have with 2000 (Hacks and patches aside) but if you have to extend kernals you might as well beusing XP anyway, also you can still get AV support for XP but not really for 2000 anymore. It's no good for the modern web. I've always prefered the classic look for getting things done rather than the eye candy gimmickery.
Windows 2000 was actually a Server OS like modern Windows Server, but with a special edition called Professional that was shadowed by XP Professional. Windows 2000 would still be useful for servers until Windows Server 2003
What stymied windows 2000 was no built in firewall, restrictions on the use of wpa2 without additional software, non existent support for ahci to use modern sata drives and artificial software handicaps restricting the use of software than ran on xp not 2000 (they both supported. Dx9). No native support for more than 2 processors without hacks and also being limited to 32-bit which handicaps the memory. Tied to this is dropped web browser support without kernal hacks and antivirus software ending support. I think XP is the lowes standard you can go to these days given these insurmountable handicaps although I'd prefer 2000 over XP.. The system requirements for 2000 were however lower to accomplish more or less the same tasks. .
The problem with the question, as you can see it with many of the responses, a lot of people are ignorant when it comes to the purpose of each OS. Windows 2000 was designed for businesses, not for consumers (though some preferred it). For that use, Windows 2000 was superior for running servers and datacenters. Windows XP was designed for consumers and its features reflected that. It was superior in that role for things like gaming or dear old Granny browsing the web on a pretty desktop. Ever since Windows NT 3.1 and Windows 3.1/3.11, Microsoft made to two versions of Windows - one for consumers and one for businesses.
Windows xp wins in here. Windows 2000 is also a Good OS. But it's just boring. XP is more user friendly and of course XP is also more modern compared to Win2K
@@chocolateimage Correct. Windows xp came out in 2001. Windows 2000 Came out in 2000. But Supposedly Win2k is the first version to have USB 2 support. But MS is just lazy to create drivers for it. USB 2 came out in 2000 same year as Win2K's release Date. It took up 2 years before USB 2 support come. It come in 2002 where Windows XP SP1 came out. The Latest release for Windows 2000 came out in 2003 which is Windows 2000 SP4 The Latest Release for Windows xp came out in 2008. 5 years gap. Which is Windows xp SP3
Because Windows 2000 was released to bridge the gap between Windows NT and Windows XP and because it released 1 year and 8 months before Windows XP, I consider it to be an hors d'œuvre.
I noticed that Windows 2000 is the only regular OS to show in startup screen which part of system loading is complete.
Also, Windows XP was backwards-compatible with more Win9x games and applications than Windows 2000 was.

I remember XP doing that on two occasions: when you do upgrade from 2000 and when you dual boot

Hi from Japan! Excellent!
I didn’t know Windows XP has the “It’s safe to turn off your computer” screen.
I believe it shows up when your hardware lacks ACPI, and thus cannot power off itself.
Diable the API
windows 9x feels like stone age computer but its actually just 1995 younger than my parents
Windows XP is better, but Windows 2000 is also great.

Windows XP is overrated, but can't deny that it is great. Windows 2000 is good as well, but underrated.
Windows 2000 it’s too difficult unlike XP, bc its used for business not for personal used.

XP is simply EVERYTHING W2K could've easily been. :-)
can you do windows 2000 vs windows me?
Interfaces between are little bit same, but kernels different.
Because:
Windows ME : DOS-based
Windows 2000 : Built on NT technology
Anyone knows how to get the "it's now safe to turn off your computer" message after shutdown ?
Find a setting to disable ACPI in your BIOS if one exists.
Windows 2000 is business-oriented and XP is consumer-oriented
I love windows 2000
Both is good.
good video, and the windows very old
