Paul AsadoorianHOST
So they could safely build window systems.
Sam BownePANELIST
And this reminds me, that was the problem with bug bear because the windows network interface would come online in windows 2000 and the firewall would not come in line for several seconds afterwards.
Sam BownePANELIST
So you'd be infected before the firewall came up.
Lee NeelyPANELIST
Yes.

Adam BienHOST
And, um, as I did lots of C++ back then, so I say, "Okay, what's the point, right? I can compile my C++ everywhere." And usually I will just run on Linux, so I was not interested to run Windows 95, 98.
Adam BienHOST
The, uh, Windows 2000 came later, um, or XP exactly.
Adam BienHOST
And, uh, yeah.
Adam BienHOST
Um, cool.
Peter BullHOST
The hardware was designed around standard PC components including a Pentium 3 CPU, Nvidia GeForce 3-based GPU, 64MB of RAM and 8GB of storage.
Peter BullHOST
A fraction of today's powerful consoles, along with software delivered by a version of Windows 2000 and DirectX, referenced in the original codename of DirectXbox.
Peter BullHOST
The original Xbox also featured a green and black themed dashboard that enabled CD playback and films with the DVD add-on.
Peter BullHOST
When I first got the original Xbox for £299 a few months after launch in the United States and played Halo Combat Evolved, it was a game changer.
JoséeHOST
Active Directory is not just an identity provider.
JoséeHOST
Since the release of Windows 2000, Active Directory has been intrinsically, inherently bound to the network itself.
Ernie PrescottHOST
And this introduces our second subject for today's deep dive.
JoséeHOST
Yeah.
Darcy WeirGUEST
I used to work in IT in a help desk role, so I can, you know, totally understand what this is like.
Darcy WeirGUEST
But when you set up a server the first time as, like, a network admin at a company, usually you're connecting that to a desktop server computer, right? The software is, let's say, of the time, Windows 2000, uh, Server 2000.
Danny JonesHOST
Mm-hmm.
Darcy WeirGUEST
And the default account when you install that software is administrator with no password.
Steve ShortHOST
Yeah.
Bruce HauptGUEST
Yeah, we had talked a little bit about this and I would say I don't think that this is completely unique just because in hearing different podcasts and people's stories before we did this, we definitely heard about folks taking over or from prior owners where a big part of the improvement or the business case is often the fact that you're able to optimize and get plugged into new systems and everything else but yes in terms of where this place was at so there was no online booking the prior owner had told me he had experimented with it once but everything was via the phone so you had to find them might be a long-term guest or you might have found their website but to call the phone number make sure to get him on the line and to be able to book The bookings would have been recorded on a paper ledger and then recorded later on into a computer, an older computer that was running Windows 2000, but wasn't connected to the internet.
Bruce HauptGUEST
And so there was some space for some modernization there, at least that worked for us.
Bruce HauptGUEST
On the restaurant side, it was all on paper as well.
Mike MartinGUEST
I come from a developer background, but I also have Uh, an infrastructure background.
Mike MartinGUEST
Um, I came in from windows 2000 networking into, into, uh, and also some Unix networking, uh, system monitoring and, and Azure for me, it all came together and.
Mike MartinGUEST
This is where I found my interest.
Mike MartinGUEST
I didn't want to build as such as just writing code, but I wanted to make sure that solutions could be existing the way cloud was intended to be.
VinceHOST
Facts.
VinceHOST
But if we go back to, let's say, NT4 architecture, Windows 2000, how many CPU architectures do they support? We talked about
JeffHOST
this last week a lot.
JeffHOST
Yeah.
VinceHOST
I think NT4 has something like eight architectures.
VinceHOST
Yeah.
VinceHOST
And the only reason I'm personally interested in this is because I'm natively running NT4 on a Nintendo Wii right now.
Paul ThurrottHOST
And, um, some of the work that's occurring this year is nice because they're, um, finally starting to get rid of a lot of those ancient UIs, uh, those kind of, um, uh, weird, you know, lower level [laughs] things that have been sitting in there for a long time, and they, they still looks like Windows 95.
Paul ThurrottHOST
In some cases, it still looks like Windows 2000 or whatever the heck it is.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Vista, there's Vista UIs, i- eyes in there.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Um, so that's good.
