echo1 0 Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Hi allVista was like Windows Me. Wonder if it is a sign that the worst versions of windows have a name rather than a number? Kind Regards walker People often make that comparison, but my favorite comparison is that Vista was more like Win 95, XP like DOS, and 7 like 98 - 1. DOS was crap, but it was around for so long that everyone got used to it. 2. 95 was a step forward, but was so buggy and system intensive that the benefits were almost negligible to a lot of well-versed computer users. 3. 98 was just basically a polished version of 95. By the time it came out, most people had begrudgingly accepted 95, so 98 was seen as a definite improvement. That's MS for you folks, no net gains, just the same shit shoveled in your face every decade with a new name. Edited August 24, 2009 by echo1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
