I think the first (significant) version of windows that (didn't) work

I had win 3.0 and for me the free 3.1 upgrade was a significant
improvement. I never had any thing earlier than 3.0.

I don't think that changed even a little until XP came out,
which works marginally if you don't mind occasional meltdowns and
periodic registry explosions.

GoBack saved my butt on many occasions.


XP still is not a patch on the ass of OS/2
WARP. I never used Win Vista ver 7 so can't comment other than retailers
were offering XP and free future upgrades because Vista sucked. Hard to
imagine it sucked worse than previous versions of Win, but that was the
word I got.

Every one complains about something. I had the most luck with XP
and because it was such a vast improvement over 95 and 98 in being
stable many did found it not necessary to change or upgrade. IIRC ME,
2000, and Vista did not have enough persuasion to change many XP users
minds. Had Microsoft continued to support XP it might still be very
popular. I am using 7 now and it seems as stable as XP but has a lot of
short cuts that make using it a bit simpler to use. I don't care for
Vista my self but every one that uses it likes it, but...I think every
one that I know that uses it did had not used XP extensively. I think
since XP it all depends on what you are used to using.
