Yeah your right there, another Windows ME springs to mind, I remember at college one administrator who was brushing up on a few things with the server side, said we have had to ditch vista on new laptops and revert back to Xp, as we have had nothing but trouble with it. The new batch we had ordered off, I had to ask for them to put windows Xp on them. The administrator had to sort the drivers out for them, as the company had stopped putting XP on.
He said if anyone is wanting to go to vista, then don't bother, as Microsoft are launching windows 7 sooner an expected.
Some times I do wonder what we saw back in my college days, in my Microsoft class was window 8, as we watched a little video of microsofts new operating system. As Visa wasn't anything like what was on that video tbh.
Just a shame they have finally killed off windows Xp, and 2000, Windows Xp I think was the new NT4, as that took some killing off! I think that might be even still about now!
