That's the scale, now, do we agree on our perceptions of the advice out there? Consider the following upgrades, and tell me whether my perception matches yours.

Win 3.1 -> Win95: at release, 1; now, 3
Win95 -> Win98: at release, 0; now, 2

Hmmm. My experience with Win 3.1-> Win95 was colored by early Win32 expereince with the NT4 preview, which grafted the Win31 GUI onto NT 3.5. When Win95 showed up shortly thereafter it was a *serious* improvement over WIn3.1, and I was already trained in the new GUI, so I would have given it more than a "1" at release.

I'm starting to realize how little I care about Windows anymore, though. It's been nine months snce it's been an everyday part of my life. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
