    Lol! I forgot all about Windows 2000! I didn't realize that at all. Then again, there have been "8" versions of Windows, so Windows "8" would be "9". Never thought of that.

    IMO, Windows 2000 was Microsoft's best release of Windows ever made. It was stable from day 1 and had long lived support.

    You also clearly never used any version of Windows before Win98. Win 3.x was good for one thing. Playing Solitare. Cuz that's all people could figure out what to do. People stuck with DOS until Win95 was released. Win95 was the product that finally could actually compete with Apple's MacOS.

    Win95 changed PCs like Final Fantasy 7 changed console RPGs.

    This is off topic, but people who bash these things are also the people whom never used it or learned anything about it. Windows 7, for example, is Vista SP1 with a tweaked taskbar and other goodies. Vista was a major step forward. Windows 8 is also a leap in the right direction. Metro works very well with a track pad or touch sensitive mouse. And it puts everything the users wants right where it's easy to find on the start screen. I dunno why I'm trying to explain this. Everyone seems to have their mind made up already.

    It's an easy formula!
    1 good Wildows followed by 1 bad one. Here's the example (ignoring the server line like NT and win2k)
    Win 3.11 -> good
    Win 95 -> bad
    Win 98 (SE aka second try) -> good
    Win ME -> wtf microsoft srsly?
    Win XP -> good (at least after SP1)
    Vista -> bad
    7 -> good
    8 -> i will give it a try but got a bad feeling about it
    9 -> yaaaay?
