Win2KPro was the peak. Windows 7 wasn't terrible, and you could select the Windows 2000 UI. It's been downhill since then.

I remember building a lc for a client, installing 2k then SP2. Clicking around installing our software thinking “this could be my main machine. This would be good”
Then it got a virus.
30 minutes after I finished installing windows.

Oh yes, security-wise it was a nightmare. I was talking about the UX. Efficient, consistent, and pretty minimalist. Animation effects started to appear but was easy to disable.
But I also had lots of fun when Code Red and Nimda came around - full perm file navigation on computers everywhere. Any Win2k box knocking on my firewall was telling me it was wide open for use.
