Having used different products of Microsoft OS I am still using it but just for some windows only applications. I dislike it generally for a bunch of reasons. Trying to use it as little as possible.
A serious improvement of course compared with my first experience with windows (3.1) and the SE was quite a good OS for it's time, compared also to general Microsoft's standards.
Started using this OS back in 2003 with Mandrake (now Mandriva) distro. I still use this OS but have changed many distros and my favourite is Gentoo which I am still using.
Tried this OS out for a month and formatted. Didn't like the Gnome and switched to Kubuntu on my laptop for some months. I kept it for some time though it didn't seem so stable as Ubuntu, whereas other distros with KDE were more stable.
Crappy product from Microsoft. It was pre-installed on my laptop and so I used it for a couple of years. This OS was one step forward from XP and two backwards, never again.
Not any dramatic styling changes, visual effects are a improved but there is a serious improvement in stability issues. Not such a big step if you compare it with XP which is a 2001 product.
