    Re: Microsoft's Biggest Blunder

    I voted ME the worst, as it was bug-ridden and completely unstable, although 95.0 (original release) had some serious problems, and Vista was quirky as all get out.

    I loved 2k, then went to XP64 when I got a dual-core machine, then up to W7 when I installed an SSD, and will be skipping W8 because the interface would eventually make me gnaw a limb off.

      I'm sorry but what the fuck where they thinking?
      Windows 9x was dead when Win2K got released which is based on the NT kernel.
      Releasing another 9x based OS after Win2K was madness at it's best ...
      This reminds me of a very funny episode back in the day .

      Due to some clerical error, a local paper magazine presented the masses with a fully operational copy of Win2K CD (instead of an evaluation version) ... for the equivalent of about ten bucks. I still chuckle remembering .

        One more reason to stay with XP. I've really taken a liking to 7, but if they're going to prematurely end support for it (which MS is notorious for), there's no reason to move away from XP....as 8 will NEVER be on anything around here. 8 was just a premature ejaculation, and its going nowhere..... I'm so tired of playing 'wheres waldo' with icons and features...they shot themselves in the foot bigtime. Win9 might be interesting, and don't worry, at MS's rate, it'll be out within the next 6 months.

                        Microsoft's biggest blunder isn't Windows any more. It's the killing of its Windows Live Messenger/MSN service, replacing it with bug-ridden, bloated, proprietary Skype.

                          How so?

                          My opinion:

                          MSN is like AOL mesanger (and to a degree, Yahoo chat)... from a bygone era when all that was practical was text (56k?). Times have changed.

                          Windows live sucks. Why?

                          Because it isn't cross platform. AFAIK, it only will run on windows. Hence the name.

                          Skype can run on virtually any mainstream OS (windows, mac, even linux (I use it on debian daily). Not only that, All platforms have seen at least one update since the microsoft merger. Even linux went from 4.0. to 4.1.x. So much for the "no more linux/mac support rumor.

                          I've not had too many bugs if any... maybe some skipping video, but that was probably my hardware not keeping up.

                          Skype seems to run pretty well on andriod OS too. Since the last update it's been pretty solid.

                          As for windows live, I've never used it, so I can't say. Maybe if it ran under linux I would have known more about it .

                                Office 2007 is why I switched to OpenOffice.

                                    If I were you, I'd use LibreOffice. LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice, created a year or two ago to shunt oracle out of things (Oracle loves killing FOSS stuff).

                                    Instead of having one company (Oracle) fund it, it now has multiple companies funding a foundation which in terns funds development. The delelopers are more or less the same... So just how Magiea left off where Mandriva was threatened, LibreOffice picked up where Open office was threatened.

                                      I worked on several computers that had been upgraded to Windows ME. Had problems with all of them. Then found a Biostar M5SAA board, did a fresh load of Windows ME, and have had no problems whatsoever. At this point I think Windows ME just wasn't backwards compatable to all the old junk being used at the time. The Biostar M5SAA was made about the same time Windows ME came out.

                                        Is Oracle even funding OpenOffice now that's it's been handed over to Apache?

                                        Either way, I'm switching to LibreOffice -- AFAIK, the development is far more active.

                                          Skype lacks a lot of features and I don't like its interface.
