Weird. 98 was still a business OS, it was pretty shite for hame use as it just didn't do multi-media stuff. It wasn't very stable either. That when the mac really was king. Windows was a business machine, mac was everything else.
XP was when they levelled the playing field, it was a full multi-media OS, now anything you could do on a mac could be done on a PC.
Vista - crap? In 2008 I had to upgrade my 2003 XP machine, it just wasn't coping with basic tasks like photo editing any more. I was feart, everybody said VISTA was a nightmare but at the same time I didn't see any point in buying a new PC with an old OS and not when I could have a 64 bit OS. I still don't know what all the fuss was about, VISTA is a far better OS than XP, it's smarter and more stable than XP. But it looks like a lot of software developers no longer think it's worth supporting, so at some point I'll be pushed onto 8 or whatever is on the go at the time.

A matter of price I guess. I'm thinking it's the way to go. Not only is it way faster but it should be far more reliable. Hard drives are much better than they used to be, but they all go pop eventually which can be a real pain in the butt.
Anyway technology, I kinda felt that up to and around the mid 00's I was keeping up with all this stuff, I could understand things and fix any issues or problems I came across. Now I just feel old. I just can't keep up and am totally lost when there's a problem.
