There was a big improvement in usability with W2K though, and I don't remember it being significantly slower than NT4 when machines were upgraded. W2K also gives access to (slightly) more recent applications.

W2K was NT5 within Microsoft, XP NT5.1. I think Vista was NT6, then MS reverted to version numbers with 7 (6.1 internally), 8(6.2) 8.1 (6.3) and 10 (6.4)(not sure what happened to 9). Presumably the minor version number has been increasing with each W10 feature update.
