I was discussing this with a friend the other day, and we noticed a pattern in Microsoft’s software. All of it was launched with great hype and fanfare and touted as a ‘good’ product, but the results have been mixed. Going all the way back to 1986:
DOS 3.3: GOOD
DOS 4.2: BAD
DOS 5.0: GOOD
DOS 6.0: BAD
DOS 6.22: GOOD
Windows 3.0: BAD
Windows 3.1: GOOD
Windows 95: BAD
Windows NT/98: GOOD
Windows ME: BAD
Windows 2000/XP: GOOD
Windows Vista: ?
I have used all these OS’s with the exception of Vista, and these are my experiences. Anyone have similar experiences?
