No, they've alternated between good and bad ever since 98.

98 - good

ME - bad

XP - good

Vista - bad

7 - good

8 - bad

10 - good (eventually)

11 - bad

ME wasn't that bad. I think I just got lucky in terms of stability?

Windows ME was a crapshoot. One of our computers blue screened a few times during the couple months we had it installed; the other couldn't even run an hour without hard crashing.

Nowadays I can't even remember the last time Windows crashed. Newer versions are definitely a lot more stable, though suck in different ways.

The one machine I had that ran Millennium Edition was a Sony laptop that came out right after it launched. Since it was the oem install, ig it survived for some time. My dad used it for Oracle DB work before I got it and used as a computer that could access the internet. I've only had one bsod with it. But realplayer deleted all my VXD files.

It just was not much different to 98 and had less good UI
