From a technical point of view it has to be said that todays Windows NT variants, starting in consumer-land with Windows XP, have not much in common with their DOS based predecessors up to Windows Me.

So one could argue the Windows we use today is in fact a bit younger, not much though.

I used windows NT and 2000, both were super reliable and I don't remember if I got a single Blue Screen on those. Gaming on those was also fine, no issues. Windows ME on the other hand was a burning garbage can and a meme at best. Never understood why they did have those two worlds. And somehow managed to market the shitty product to the masses (windows 98 and ME).

What they say. From outside it may be 40 but on inside still 30.
