    Usability wise, 9x/NT was a turd next to MacOS 7-9. Yes, NT was more stable than Classic OS (although I routinely measured my uptimes in the hundreds of days), but the UI on windows sucks, has always sucked, and always will suck.

    For Christ's sake, they put the Start bar on the bottom of the screen just to be different from Apple. What a bunch of lamers.
