Yeah, a broken and atrophied Vista that's been on drugs for several years and is barely "alive"

Windows ME even had trouble installing sometimes, let alone crashing whilst in the OS.

I think top 10 lists should be banned from the news section. They're only written for page hits and always god awful.

1. vista... now are you serious? sure it was bad at launch but look at it 2 service packs later. ME IMO is the worst version >.>

Jack Wallen was a key player in the introduction of Linux to the original TechRepublic. Beginning with Red Hat 4.2 and a mighty soap box, Jack had found his escape from Windows. It was around Red Hat 6.0 that Jack landed in the hallowed halls of TechRepublic.
I laughed.

Seriously though, even if it was accurate (which it's not, mind you) that would still be one of the worst written articles I've ever read.
