(13,616 posts)With Windows, the odd numbered ones: 3.1, 98, XP, & are usually very good.
the even: Millennium, eight, are poison.
There is definite sign that MS has lost it's mojo. I can remember when the only real rivals were Apple (if you wanted to pay three time as much for far less software) or Linux. Android came along and started working on making the personal computer obsolete. MS knew that windows needed to hit it out of the park, to prove that they still defined the show, and instead, they might as well have handed to future to android. Even apple will bleed, as people who were scared of MS realize that there is a new option for those that wants to run applications, write stuff, check facebook, all without dealing with either MS or Apple. Apple will survive because it has the design/snob mojo, MS may not be so lucky.
Windows 9 better be a grand Slam.
