Windows 3.0 -- okay.
Win 3.1 -- very okay.
Win 95 -- okay, very new.
Win 97 (yes, there was such a thing!) -- so trashy it barely got a rollout and was pulled almost the next day.
Win 98 -- very okay, especially with SE.
Windows Millennium Edition -- if you've never heard of Windows ME, rejoice and be glad.
Windows XP -- Excellent!
Windows Vista -- Sucked.
Windows 7 -- stable, a good platform.
windows 8 -- well, ah....

Notice that roughly every other edition of Windows sucked. (Also notice that I've been around Windows for far too long, and in fact I can even still use DOS commands and even...wait for it!...Unix.)

I just bought a desktop to replace the one I've been using. I searched for what I wanted, couldn't afford it, and ended with only half a terabyte HD and 4 gig of RAM instead of the TB and 8 gig I wanted. Of course, I can install another 4 gig of RAM (I even have my own static discharge bracelet). But I back up to a 1TB external and can get another one if it's needed.

Oh, yes, the OS: Windowns 7 Home Premium. I thought about a Mac but couldn't afford it and besides, Wordperfect (the absolute BEST word processing software made!) no longer runs on Apple OS. (PS: the PC is still upstairs in the box.)
