Windows 2000 Professional®
The mission of the Windows® 2000
Professional development team was to create a mainstream desktop
operating system that incorporates the best business features of Windows 98
and builds on the traditional strengths of Windows NT, which together reduce the
costs associated with desktop management. Windows® 2000 Professional is the
result.
The built-in Windows® 98 business features include a simplified user
interface, improved Plug and Play, Power Management and support for a broad
range of hardware devices. It's more reliable, secure and manageable than
Windows NT Workstation because of its new file encryption system and application
management tools.
