System Flaws:

Entirely incompatible with several gaming devices including 3-D cards and gamesticks, and would also break software associated with America Online and Earthlink.^⁵¹
Although originally intended to be distributed both in business and consumer form, Microsoft ultimately realized this would not be possible and switched their consumer concentration to Windows ME. This was problematic because the name, Windows 2000, was similar to the titling of their consumer products. Reviews, marketers and Bill Gates himself all had to take great strides to educate the public regarding the intended system user.
System installation was difficult and potentially damaging to personal computers.
Required an exorbitant amount of memory. Although Microsoft places the system requirements as those listed above, others argued Win2000 required a base of 64 MB of memory and 1 GB of disk space, with double those requirements to avoided sluggish speeds and system crashes.^⁵²

Beginning with Windows XP, Microsoft began offering business editions of their consumer systems. Both WinXP and Vista have professional options that mirror the differentiated functionality previously offered in the separate NT line. The NT line also included server system that Microsoft continues to design, which have not been included in this timeline. The next professional system in expected to be Windows 7, which currently has an anticipated release date in 2010.^⁵³

1 Note: All requirements refer to the bare minimums put forth by Microsoft. In nearly all cases, reviewers warn that these bare requirements are usually not enough to operate the platforms to capacity.
