If you're calling 95 bad i don't think you spent a lot of time in 3.1. Resolving IRQ conflicts, configuring winsock.DLL, whatever the hell else. 95 had its issues, especially on the gaming side, but it was leaps and bounds better than what came before. Meanwhile 98SE was good enough to keep people, especially gamers, on it for a long time.
I did, but I didnt feel it was necessary to go into an excruciatingly detailed list of all OS's from now to all the way back to LEO I in my OS criticism, just to avoid some pissy OS ping pong of "You thought that was bad? You obviously never used (insert older OS here)!"
