Personaly I think Windows 98se was the most stable, XP has too much crap on it, ME has the most bugs by far!! I had it, decided to downgrade to 98se and everything was 80% better!

Well, I've only used 98/ME/ and XP, out of all I'd say XP. I've never used 98SE but I hear it's the most stable version. Course I've never used it so I wouldn't know.
When I had ME, I got the blue screen of death ALL the time. It was pathetic. I still have XP, and I'm fine with it. |

single digit versions are cheesy by today's standards, but they are not that bloated yet then, and can be mostly said to be "most stable"
 too bad today's softwares are not all that backward-compatible with these versions anymore. lolz! i switch from win98se to win2000 via dualboot, in cases where i need apps which would not run in one version or the other. i never installed winxp on my drive (yup, the crap in xp stinks ), though i may yet to try this when i get to require a software which will not run in my installed win OS versions. but so far, i am happy to be sticking it out with win98se for most of the time.  longhorn/vista soon? maybe after 10 years... lolz!

If I have to trust my sources, Win2K is the most stablest server platform in the windows series. Windows XP is more for the home user and can be stable if all the bloatware is stripped. So far the most stablest windows I've used was Windows 2003 BETA (Yes, it said beta). I was the early adopter of all three Windows 3.x 95 and 98 and I found them all to be REALLY unstable. But that's just from my point of view.

Out of all the Windows versions that I've tried, I think that 98 is the most stable. Windows ME has way, way WAY too many bugs...I too kept getting the blue screen coming up all the time whenever I tried to do somethng. XP is pretty stable as well but there's too much extra stuff on there that takes up room and makes the computer run slower (it does on my computer ayway).
So, yep...98. It doesn't keep bringing up the blue screen all the time, and it doesn't come with so much "extra" junk. |
