I've said it many times in the past: the OS is a toolbox, just like a carpenters toolbox.

I use it to keep my apps (tools) in. I use the apps (hammer, saw, screwdriver etc.) to get a job done, then I put them away. The job of the OS isn't to recommend that I use Hammer v2.0 or to update my toolbox to the latest version.

The OS is, or should be, out of my way.

I agree with others here: Windows 2000 was peak OS for me!
