After worrying about [[wikipedia:Y2K bug|Y2K]], Sam received a call from Microsoft. Microsoft told him that Windows 2000 will feature him as the voice of that OS, along with Mike and Mary being optional voices. Sam was even sent a copy of Windows 2000 on his 14th birthday (which was also the release date for Windows 2000), as well as a new Dell PC with a Pentium 3. Sam graduated Middle School in June of 2000 and went to Rofltown High School in August, where he met IVONA Eric and IVONA Kimberly. Sam almost immediately became friends with them, that same day (August 29th, 2000), A Young, Wet-behind-the-ears, 11-year-old Radar Overseer Committee member, Scott Remy Orville (better known as Radar Overseer Scotty) was going door-to-door telling people how Radar Machines can save people from Hurricanes, and Sam came across Scotty while coming home from school, Sam was getting bored of Scotty lecturing him about Radar Machines and shuts the door on him.

Sam later learned that Scotty was a new kid in Rofltown that moved in across the street from where Sam lived at the time. Sam and Kimberly started dating by the beginning of November and had never been closer. High School was also where Sam met Alex. Alex saw Sam walking by with a Windows 2000 Launch T-Shirt on, and Alex shouted "WINDOWS 2000 SUCKS, MAC OS 9 IS WAY BETTER!", Sam told him to shut up afterward, and Alex flipped Sam off... causing Sam to hate Alex. Sam's experience with [[wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple]] started in 1989 when he saw a [[wikipedia:Macintosh IIfx|Macintosh IIfx]] Ad and had neutral thoughts on it, but when the [[wikipedia:iMac G3|iMac G3]] came out, he actually liked the design of that computer, he even used a Mac at school once and thought it was nothing to write home about, but after meeting Alex, Sam hated Apple as much as he hated Alex, on September 14th, 2000, Microsoft had Sam try out Windows ME and hated it, Microsoft gave him $300, and on October 25th, 2000, Sam spent it on a PlayStation 2. Sam told his family it was his gift to them and told them it was more than a gaming system, but also a DVD player. The family started renting and buying DVDs after that.

In 2001, Sam was informed by Microsoft that they will make a more Natural sounding version of his TTS voice on Windows 2000 via converting SAPI4 to SAPI5, Lernout and Hauspie had succeeded it with converting two people's TTS Voices (Michael Lernout Hauspie, and Michelle Lernout Hauspie) from SAPI4 to SAPI5, Microsoft had done the same to Sam, Mike, and Mary's voices, which ended up butchering their voices, the program was in beta, it worked with Michael & Michelle due to them recording their voices 3 years prior to Sam, Mike, and Mary recording theirs and to the lower quality microphone that only recorded in 11025 kHz. Sam didn't mind the new SAPI5 version of his voice, but Microsoft, as well as Lernout & Hauspie, were going to fix Sam's new SAPI5 TTS voice, however, Microsoft was in the middle of working on the new Windows version (codenamed Whistler) and Lernout and Hauspie went bankrupt because of a fraud engineered by the management, so the SAPI5 TTS voice was never fixed.

That new Windows version that was codenamed Whistler was named officially named Windows XP and Sam couldn't wait until Windows XP was released. Sam was also informed by Microsoft about the new DirectX Box prior to E3 2001. The DirectX Box was later named the [[Wikipedia:Xbox (console)|Xbox]].
