It was an official product and should never be "ignored." Millennium was a "feeble" attempt from Microsoft and appeared at the same time as Windows 2000.

Back in those days, Microsoft had two different lines of Windows operating systems. The NT line was the Professional line and the 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 9x line was the home user line. Windows Millennium was the last product in the home user line. Despite the change of name, it was essentially just the last version of Windows 98. Windows 2000 was the first version of the NT (professional) line that had no number. It followed Windows NT 4.0, and under the hood it was NT 5.0. After Windows Millennium, there were no further releases in the home user line. Everything afterward was in the NT line, which became more oriented toward *both* professionals and home users. So, under the hood, Windows XP was NT 5.1, Vista was NT 6.0, and Windows 7 is NT 6.1 -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
