Article note: Windows 2000 really was a lovely, consistent realization of a clean, simple, does-what-you-ask OS.
XP was also quite nice for it's time, but more obfuscated and inconsistent.
Server 2003 was all the modernity of late-XP with all the UX consistency and non-coerciveness of 2000, and, like many, I ran it off-label as a workstation OS for some time.
