I admit it was easier to set up a network. That also morphed to NT which has it's share of fans. W/98 was really the bug fix as much as anything and SE made it very solid if you had all of the patches. Most of the crashes were actually caused by things you loaded on top of SE. Memory management has always been shaky with MS and they let too many people have the keys to the kingdom. They kept stepping on each other's patch. XP was supposed to fix that and it actually works a whole lot better. The best I can figure 7 was supposed to address security holes in WiFi (I know networking got more cumbersome). W/8 added tablet support and 10 is aimed at taking MS to a subscription model according to the chatter I hear. |
