Of course not. After all, I haven't used any kind of windows since
win98.
Yet you base your opinion of the current version off of an obsolete
version.
Not to mention all the screenshots and articles written about it.
lol. Yet you do not extend this ability to the "Wintrolls". In this very
thread you just said:
"Because (unlike most wintrolls WRT the mac) I've actually used older
versions of Windows."

You insist that "Wintrolls" use a Mac before they form their opinion
about the Macintosh

Or at least have some knowledge of it.

But the wintrolls in here - they're just making up stuff or
perpetuating old myths that simply aren't true.
You're the one making stuff up and perpetuating old myths about Windows.
Name one such myth.
"Real-life complaints from colleagues and relatives stuck with Windows
are all the justification I need to refer to Windows as "unreliable" or
"unstable"."

Windows XP is leaps and bounds more stable than Windows 98.

So I hear. But then that doesn't take much.

I'll agree
with you that Windows 98 was unstable. But Windows XP is not Windows 98.

That is also my impression.

Except it isn't. Wintrolls find one or two examples of bad
experiences
and somehow portray this as being the typical experience.
Mac zealots do exactly the same thing all the time.
The difference being that most maccies have experience with both OSes.
But not you...at least not when it comes to the current (current being
defined as at least 4 1/2 years old) version of Windows.
And yet I had no trouble finding articles that more or less agreed
with me.
"You have this habit of reading things that support your point of view
and ignore what contradicts it."

Just like you do.
