My first PC was Windows 95, and I've used pretty much every OS designed for home use since. 95 and 98 were great.... as long as you formatted and did a clean install fairly regularly. ME was a gigantic steaming turd, and even a fresh install could give you enough troubles to make you want to pull your hair out. XP was a huge improvement, but still needed to be wiped and re-installed every so often to maintain optimal speeds. Vista..... aside from all the trash people heaped upon it about UAC... was an incredibly stable OS that maintained it's core extremely well. I used it from the day it came out and never lost speed or felt it needed a re-install. Just installed 7 this weekend, and like it's features more than Vista. I just hope it will be every bit as stable as Vista (I see no reason why it won't.)
