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.
