Where is XP and Vista on this chart. Millennium edition is missing but we don't count That one anyway.
They're all NaN and were discarded at outliers... Yeah, they're that bad compared to 2000.
What about my first windows, the 3.0 😭
I think I jumped over from DOS at 3.1. High five!
I counted it. They said it was 'more stable'. It was not. I used to know my CD license code off by heart.
XP in ASCII is [0x58, 0x50] and Vista is [0x56, 0x69 0x73, 0x74, 0x61]. If we add all of them together we get 168 (0xB2 for XP and 519 (0x207) for Vista
If you could get *Windows ME to install without crashing.
get YOU to install what?
ME was the abbreviation for Millennium in Windows ME.
The only version of windows I ever purchased.
They owe me now.
You should take it to small claims court
This one's coincidentally accurate, though (relatively; 8 should be in the negatives, or dropped off the chart altogether like ME, and 98 and 98SE should be split).
