For a good reliable system, I tend to agree with you, altho Win 7 works 
well--for Windows.  If the world were perfect, Windows 98 would have 
worked without BSOD all the time, and it would have been the best.
(Of course it was only 16-bit.) But Win 98 still allowed the user some 
control over where things were stored and in what user-named 
directories, and you could use the 3rd party program whereis to find them,
*but _not_ open them* so you could do something with the file 
itself--copy it, move it, email it which you can't do in the later 
Windowses. At least not without a lot of grief.  Now i mostly use 
PCLinuxOS, except
for just a few instances where programs only run on Windows--programmers 
for GPS, and for new ham radios, and WordPerfect and AutoCAD.  (WP still 
puts LO to shame, imho.
