It is, but i gotta admit Microsoft is finally doing a great job with its main OS.

 

For those who can remember, windows 98, windows millenium argh, look how far they are now ! A stable OS, unthinkable before.

 

 

We used to joke  (Microsoft speaking) :

 

With windows 98 we were really on the edge of the abyss ;

With windows millennium, we finally took a step forward.

Wasn't there a reasonably stable operating system in the middle, windows XP. It still runs on 40% of the worlds computers.

Wasn't quite stable at release, it became stable after SP1 was released, SP3 started to be really rock solid.

 

There was windows 2000 before, few people knew and were using it, but that was a very solid OS (previous NT versions were solid too, but 2000, even if it wasn't advertised as a workstation, you could still run pretty much everything on it).

Was with Windows from 3.1

The final XP was super.

Finally today, with Windows 10 Pro Version 1809 - no complaints...

Have you tried Chrome or Edge?

 

Yes tried Opera,Edge, Firefox, could not do anything on Firefox,

every site i tried to go to ,even ThaiVisa says unsecure certificates,

so had to uninstall Firefox.

Win 7 PC, i dont think its the fall update,as two of my machines
