DOS
 

  Nice try, but DOS is not Windows.  

     
  My favourite Windows OS is XP. The level of compatibility is a computational wet dream.


 

 You clearly don't remember when XP came out. It broke about 20% of scanners and about 5-10%n of printers.


That's irrelevant though, it's excellent now... also, my dad refused to upgrade from 98 for about 3 years.


Not quite, if i was to buy a Vista machine now, and then a new printer and scanner and all that, it would all work with Vista. If i was to take that machine and try to get an old printer and scanner to work, maybe 5% wont. XP is more compatible at current, but that curve is changing and changing very fast. I would guess that of products on the market at current, Vista if anything beats XP.

So yes, the result changes depending on if you are looking at current compatibility or older compatibility.
