RE: Has there ever been a Windows OS release that wasn’t going to be “the death of Microsoft”?

My personal policy — Always buy the ODD numbered version of Windows, not the even numbered version :)

Kinda like only watching only the even numbered star trek movies?

Windows 98 was pretty darn good for being an even numbered OS. I had to be pried away from mine with a crowbar.

I reluctantly went to XP, and quickly fell in love with it. I then went through the same withdrawal symptoms when my last XP dinosaur died.

I was nervous about Windows 7, but after playing with it on my wife's laptop, realized that it was familiar enough that the transition would likely be enjoyable. It was.

That said, I'm not ready for a new OS already. Win 7 is plenty adequate for my needs, and I don't compute on hand held devices anyway.

That rule only works for Windows 7 ...

Windows 98-2nd ed was far better than 95
Windows 2000 (even) was far better than NT3.5.1
Windows XP (2002) was good/great after the first service pack
