Or more precisely: Windows Millennium Edition = end of the line for the venerable Windows 9x series Windows 2000 Professional = Windows NT 5.0 Workstation Windows 2000 Server = Windows NT 5.0 Server Windows 2000 Enterprise Edition = Windows NT 5.0 Server with Clustering
Perhaps the confusion came from Windows XP (loosely NT 6.0 workstation) with its Home Edition (sans remote desktop, EFS, among others a la Pro) vs. Professional nomenclature.

That's just totally wrong. ME is the culmination of the win9x line, and 2k is of the NT line. The differences are vast (not least being that ME is a pimple upon the arse of MS Windows and 2k is pretty good for what it is).
