The idiots are doing it again.

1st: 2000
2nd: NT
3rd: XP
4th: Longhorn?

Windows 98 rocked. I wish they still supported it.

XP keeps pissing me off. You need a supercomputer for the fade effect to ever work on the toolbar.

I hope this doesn't turn into another flame war.

Win98 is still useful so I'm using it. Why spend another hundred bucks on another OS when the one I currently have works fine? (rhetorical question)

I agree its st00pid....
but apparently the file system will allow HDs to have about a couple of tetrabytes or something...

Actually the current NTFS implmentation in WinXP allows for partitions up to 256 terabytes & files sizes up to 16 terabytes. :\

My guess is that they either found a "better/faster" file system or they're integrating more "features" such as digital rights management right into the filesystem.

The later being the more likely of the two.
