Windows 2000
.
So, it really means:
"WINDOWS 2000... Based on New New Technology Technology"
Time for a new paradigm.
When Windows 2000 Professional starts, it displays a screen, proudly heralding:
"WINDOWS 2000... Based on NT Technology"
Cool.
When Windows NT came out, I think it was actually Windows New Technology.
So, the 2000 screen means:
"WINDOWS 2000... Based on New Technology Technology"
Probably based on, say Windows NT version 3.5 or 4.0, both of which are newer than whatever NT was in effect in 2000.
"WINDOWS 2000... Based on NT Technology"
Cool.

Or you could just run Gentoo on the NT Kernel.

Next best thing to running linux on a dead badger.

Well, now, there we are. I understand about every second or third word.
1. When I run Gentoo, it's time for Metamucil. Probably too late, actually.
2. "On the nt kernal" sounds like a riff on the A-Train. Budubadubba, ...
3. Google ... I have walked through their campus. Last I looked, it was a noun. I'm probably wrong.
4. "running linux" is like pestering that kid in Peanuts, isn't it?
5. "... on a dead badger"... ohmigosh! Zoo-necrophilia!
I'll never read another Windows flashy entrance screen. I swear.

And while we're at it, why can't the software gurus get the little, annoyingly repetitive things right? The sequence is "0 comments, 1 comment, 2 comments... 2 gazillion comments." But notice: in Blogger, it's easier, lazier and lamer to just make comments plural in all cases. And "0 comments" snuck by. That should be "No comments", I think. I thought their task is to make the software work for all of us, not just for other nerdy programmers who speak Lame-ian. May be wrong. Or, "0 rights".
