The Best, Worst, and Ugliest OSes of the Decade
itwbennett writes "Hundreds of Operating Systems were released during the past decade, finding their way into microdevices, watches, refrigerators, mobile phones, cars, motorcycles, jets, even the International Space Station. Some worked; some even worked well. Others, sadly, didn't. And some were just ahead of their time. Blogger Tom Henderson takes a look back at the best and worst OSes of the decade. Among the worst? Vista, as you'd suspect, along with WinME. But what about GNU Hurd? And some of the best? Solaris/OpenSolaris 10, Mac OS X, and newcomer Google Android."

I still miss it. So much potential and such high hopes. I suppose I should check out Haiku.
Checking out Haiku is going to be like resurrecting your dead mother. Her soul is gone and she'll just try to eat your brains.
Or you'll get your arm and leg torn off, and your brother will have to live in a suit of armor.
I'm still missing it.
Such high hopes and potential.
Should check out haiku.

Brain surgery - it's not rocket science!
The beauty is Windows 7 is just Vista SP2 without that nasty Vista name attached. So if you already had Vista you had to pay a second time for 7. **KA-CHING
