    That‘s interesting because I remember our home computer ran on it for a while. I guess that was only because my father was friends with a PC shop owner who knew about it.

      A LOT of people ran 2000 on home computers. It was the half step before XP.

      Pretty much anyone not buying a prebuilt ran 2000

      ME was basically 98 but much less stable, so a lot of people grabbed a copy of 2000 one way or another to run it at home. XP came out in 2001, bringing an end to DOS based kernels in the Microsoft lineup.
