Windows
2000 is the successor to Microsoft's popular
Windows NT 4.0 Operating System. (Technically,
it's NT 5.0. The name was changed for marketing
reasons.) Windows 2000 builds on NT's
strengths and offers significant improvements
in reliability, security, manageability, scalability,
and hardware support. Both Windows NT and Windows
2000 are extremely well built, robust, secure,
and popular Operating Systems that are designed
specifically for businesses and high end environments.
But Windows 2000 is a lot more than just a simple
upgrade. It's almost a total rewrite of the
Windows NT Operating System, with hundreds of
new features and fixes.
