However, if you follow the good one / crappy one rule of thumb (it is very scientific, dontyaknow)

WinME - crappy
Win2K - good
WinXP - crappy
WinVis - good (well, unless you consider XP-SP2 to be good, meaning it is a different OS than XP, making WiVi crappy)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/21/longhorn-official-name-windows-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/21/longhorn-official-name-windows-vista/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/21/longhorn-official-name-windows-vista/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/21/longhorn-official-name-windows-vista/
