excuse me? did you *ever* productively (have to) employ either of the
two? IMHO, NT4 is the last usable windoze, if windoze has to be used. XP
is an absolute joke (micro$oft's long-term strategy seems to be to rule
the world with a gameboy in every pocket, running XP), and 2000, well...
while micky$oft surely had good intentions to improve upon and extend
NT4, they really just screwed up. don't i faintly remember "everything
will be centrally administrateable in the MMC", or "more secure"??? yeah
right, redmond!
