Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned. So, I was at Steve Jobs' 2004 WWDC keynote yesterday, attempting to take pictures for OSNews (an amazingly hard task, by the way, which really explained why people pay big bucks for big lenses equipped with image stabilizers). UPDATE: Stop reading right there, I have rewritten & updated the article here.

I'm sorry, but the transition between windows 98 and windows 2000/XP is just not big. The only major things that changed were in the backend. New kernel, improved stability. No major changes in the GUI. Just a little bit of cleaning up. I mean, win2k was a nice update, but far from a revolution like dos->windows or macos9->macosx. I think you are seriously overestimating your "knowledge in the field".
Well, if you only look at the surface Windows 2000 doesn't seem very different from Win98. But neither does the DOS prompt look very different from the Linux prompt.
If you knew abit more about the history of Windows though, you would know that Windows 2000 is based on a completely different OS than Windows 98. If you had said that the transition from NT4 to Win2000 wasn't very big I could agree. It is big although not VERY big. Still Windows2000 brings alot more technologies to NT4 than what Windows 1-3.x did to DOS.
