Microsoft Windows 2000 server, with Microsoft Office 2000 Professional and Delphi represented the best UI and place to build programs, for me. If I could, I'd run that forever on my desktop PC.
Everything was in a logical place, it used existing hardware well, and you could do almost anything with it.
It didn't have that weird thing where it would "snap" to the corners, or have strange mouse effects to try to dock things all the time. Clippy wasn't trying to sell my data, and was easily disabled, permanently. Remote Desktop made it possible to work remotely, even over a slower connection. All awesome stuff.
