Win 2.0 to Win3.11 was a big jump. Win 3.11 to Win95 rocked.

I still remember refusing to transition off of Win98 until after SP2 came out for XP. Before that, it was a PoS.

Win7 was surprisingly good right out of the box. I'm hard to impress, but Win7 seemed to fix everything I hated about Vista.

What the hell is wrong with DOS?

Does Win 7 have an up folder button like XP?

I hate using the ribbon, especially when you get "trapped" in the user folder. Yes I know, but such a simple thing annoys me to no end.

Out of curiosity, what did you hate about Vista? It’s been problem free for me (actually more stable than XP was), so I wonder what all the hate is about. People love to complain about vista, but I wonder if it was just too big a jump as an upgrade whereas us late adopters got it oem on machines with plenty of memory and cpu. Just curious.

The real alternative back then, for those who don't like toy operating systems, was OS/2. But it didn't fit with Mr Bill's business plan.
