So the name should be NT5. If windows 2000 uses the NTFS, instead of the VFAT32 file system. It is actually the next version of NT. Which would be version 5. Someone informed me that NT5 was what they were going to call it. I guess that since it is called Windows 2000. It should be based on the 95 kernel. But, since it was called Windows 2000. I guess I will call it Windows 2000. It is their trademark and thier choice from the "OS naming book" I think that ME is based on the Windows 95 kernel. But I could be mistaken. I'll call the versions by thier MS selected names.
