This pattern in Microsoft's Operating System Software. All these were launched with great hype and termed "good" products but the results have been mixed. A guy posted this note and its true in my eyes.. so is Vista really doomed?
Going all the way back to 1986: (Operating System: Good/Bad Verdict)
DOS 3.3: GOOD
DOS 4.2: BAD
DOS 5.0: GOOD
DOS 6.0: BAD
DOS 6.22: GOOD
Windows 3.0: BAD
Windows 3.1: GOOD
Windows 95: BAD
Windows NT/98: GOOD
Windows ME: BAD
Windows 2000/XP: GOOD
Windows Vista: ?
Most of us Geeks have used all these operating systems since the first Microsoft OS.
