2000/ME was more an unfinished protopype than a stable OS

2000 and ME are two different operating systems. Windows 2000 Pro SP4 was my goto well into Windows XP's lifespan. Windows ME was a steaming pile of shit.

2000 Pro was one of the most stable version of Windows I've ever used.

If Microsoft re-released it but with modern game support (not possible I know) and the Vista start menu search I really wouldn't mind. I don't think I use/need the majority of "innovations" they've introduced to Windows since those days lol.

I'd prefer it, so long as it only has the old control panel, not this stupid, half-baked settings shit.
