It was mine too. IIRC, I was still using after Vista came out. I did
change (to XP, not Vista) because Win2000 didn't work so will with high
speed (above 2mbps) internet. I never used Vista. It was too bloated.


One weirdness, was Win2000 had an upper limit of 320Mbit/sec on
a GbE NIC interface. About the best it could do on shares,
was transfer at 40MB/sec. I tried a number of "from-to"
benchmarks, and that's about the best number I could
manage, out of all the test results.

It was WinXP that had a better networking stack. It can run
the stack at GbE rates on a GbE NIC.
