alt Hacker NewsThere is no version of Windows 2000 for consumers.
Windows Me was the nearest consumer release (2000 came out in 1999, Me in 2000), and did share most of the same UI, but was based on Windows 98.
Windows XP was the first version of Windows to ship with the same codebase for both consumer and business.
Windows 2000 Professional was the non server edition no? That's the one I was running AFAIK.

But you might be right by meaning consumer is non business user.. I also ran ME for about 2 weeks lol
