| My experience has been that the oldest OS is usually the most stable. This is probably because the most bugs have been found and fixed.
When system X came out, XP inherited the crown for most bugs fixed. I needed a PC anyway to test CDs with so I bought one and installed PTle to check it out. The experience went amazingly smooth, much easier than my friends who were struggling with their upgrades from system 9 to X and now Apple's new OS of the month club.
I'd heard all of the horror stories but haven't seen any of it. While the classic Mac OS was indeed easier to deal with, system X seems less intuitive than even XP. |
