Man, that 1995-2001 era Windows UI was like, peak Windows.

It was so crisp and clean. Visual C++ and Visual Basic of the time were far from perfect, but they let you just get things done(tm)

XP was right around the corner and it's been downhill from there.

Nothing beats a clean windows 2000 install

Gosh it was so fast. And only the drivers I needed (which was a bit of a pain but half the fun). And it was tiny on the HDD.

I played so much Half-Life, Unreal Tournament, CS1.5 and more on 2000. I miss it daily.

I visit https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?url=win2k.cfg&mem=192&gr... every now and then for nostalgia. It's unfortunate that virtualising win2k with decent video drivers is such a pain.
