Personally, I liked WIN 2000 SP4, but you can't install it easily on non-ide CD-ROM machines. For all it's limitations, it didn't have to "call home to mama" to run it.

There's antique cars, and nobody seems to yell "get a new xxx car". There's antique furniture, ditto. What's the deal about antique computing? The deal is that lots of big players can't keep sucking money if you step off the upgrade trail...
