The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

Meeehhh.... Kinda. It was great, for windows, don't get me wrong.

But personally I think windows 2000 was the most rock steady and speedy of all of em. But it also had less legacy stuff to support, didn't have XP's compatibility layer etc etc etc.

So it's easy for me to love win2k, it was less complex, thus less likely to have serious bugs (after the 4th service pack lol).
