Yeah. It's come a long way, and if nothing else, Linux is a fertile playground for the philosophy of software design for those who handle the UX/UI stuff.
Windows 7 was beat to the punch by gnome/Ubuntu on the paradigm of representing apps in the taskbar as icons that then expand to become textual lists. Some people hate that idea, and that's ok too, so long as they're given alternatives that are easy to switch between.
Windows 7 was the best OS. I miss it.
Meeehhh.... Kinda. It was great, for windows, don't get me wrong.
But personally I think windows 2000 was the most rock steady and speedy of all of em. But it also had less legacy stuff to support, didn't have XP's compatibility layer etc etc etc.
So it's easy for me to love win2k, it was less complex, thus less likely to have serious bugs (after the 4th service pack lol).
