[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1556795, member: 8287"] That is very true. Windows 1 and 2 were a joke. Even 3.0 was not the best. 3.1 was the first Windows that at least had a decent GUI, but it was still really (no matter what anyone says) a shell on Top of DOS. It crashed so much I saw grown people cry over loosing all their work and time. And yes I owned and worked with most of the older versions of Windows. Mac OS (System) from the beginning was superior. Windows 95 was the (To me) first Windows that had a nice GUI and was at least pretty stable. Windows 2000 is where to me MS really got it right. At the time 2000 made Mac OS9 look antique with true preemptive multitasking and flat page memory management. It took OSX to blow it away! I was using 2000 and it never crashed on me. Then I tried OSX 10.2 and was won over. From that point on Windows became my Gaming OS! :D Grin Sorry for going on and on but when i saw your comments about old Windows I had to comment! :D And yes XP was nice for Windows anyway! [/QUOTE]
