      Don't forget the odd/even rule... 30 - Bad 311 - Good (Relatively speaking) 95 - Ba--A general protection fault 0E has occurred... 98 - Good (Ok, better than 95) Me - Incredibly Bad XP - Good Vista - Makes WinMe look good by comparison 7 - Good Hmm, each bad version seems to be worse than the bad version before it... Which means 8 will be worse than Vista... That's a scary thought.

            Personally, I thought 95 was better than 98. Then again, I never had 98 SP2 or SE or whatever which was not free.

                Actually, XP was bad. Very bad. People tend to forget that it was awful until it was fixed as part of SP3 which, ironically, had a really negative effect on Vista.

                            2000/NT4 was probably once of the most reobust platforms I've worked on.

                              Yeah, no kidding... When did "using a computer" start to mean "taking pictures, browsing YouTube, and posting on Twitter"? Two things I do infrequently, and one that I've never done.

                                  XP and later are also NT. The 9x codebase was put out of its misery after winme.

                                  3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

                                      The number of viable internal replacements for Balmer has dropped from 1 to 0. Sinofsky has jumped the shark. :((

                                        XP and later are also NT. The 9x codebase was put out of its misery after winme.

                                        Yeah, they share a codebase, but they're still separate product lines, and I don't know if the odd/even rule applies to the server lines.

                                          When I saw news few months back that Windows 8 will be using Metro UI, I was hoping for rumor... but that was true. I cant believe they are using Metro UI for mainstream OS. I though they just figure it out that they cant use mainstream OS UI on mobile OS, but now who is going to make them understand that reverse way is even worse. Let's hope that you can change the theme back to Windows Aero. Mainstream OS UI should provide basic interface for client apps, and not tightly integrated apps inside UI as services... even if this is just for consumer version, They are trying to make users dumb after trying too hard to make them smart enough to use windows 98.

                                          It's a shame that stupidity can't be converted into a usable energy source.
