It seems that every-other operating system Microsoft releases is a "good" one. Windows 7 has been very popular, and is well liked by end-users and administrators. So the question is will Windows 8 continue this trend and be the next Vista?
The cycle has been so far (only as far back as I remember)...
Windows 98 - Good
Windows ME - Poor
Windows XP - Good
Windows Vista - Poor
Windows 7 - Good
Windows 8...
(Windows 2000 was skipped because it was mainly a server release, not intended for personal use)

my projections.
Windows 8 - Poor
Windows 9 (Let's face it there will be) - Great.
....reversi?
If you can't disable Metro UI or can't run unsigned programs it will suck.Originally Posted by SoL DarkLord
If you can do both of those things it will probably be more like Windows 7 than Vista.
Windows 98 had Haddaway

What do you mean Windows 1 - PoorFixed that for you.
I mean sure, it's poor.. If you live in Nebraska!!!
IT HAS REVERSI!!!
Seriously though, this list is pretty off in regards to what was actually going on. Sure you can leave out NT and 2k because they are Business OSs but that doesn't make much sense. I know a lot of home users who used both of them.
You also have 3.0 which was garbage. 3.1 which was a marked improvement over 3.0 and 3.11 for workgroups where we actually got some semblance of in-office networking. You also consider that the version of MS DOS packaged with these early windows boxes changed from version to version. I know more than one person who renamed their dosshell.exe to doshell.exe.
Comparing anything before 95 to the modern windows doesn't make much sense because MS did releases different back then. 3.1 would have been an entirely new version instead of just a subversion of windows under the way they currently release things.
ALSO
98 was garbage when it first came out. It wasn't until 98SE that it was stable enough to be considered a good operating system.
I could discuss this until I'm blue in the face but...
Windows 7 is for desktops, windows 8 for tablets. In this case, Microsoft is trying to innovate too much.

The UI for Windows 8 is set up for easy integration between the Xbox, windows phone, and possibly tablets.
If Windows 8 has Reversi.....then....I AM SOLD!!!!
.....Spazz!? You with me?!
