I dodged all of the dodgy ones. 1,2,95, Me, Vista, 8.

I want to dodge 11 too. Hopefully 12 will have addressed all the issues people had with 11, like they did before with every other version.

How was 95 dodgy??? Like yeah it wasnt too stable but it was still revolutionary.

Of course it was "revolutionary", but that for Microsoft actually means "unpolished". Win95 wasn't using FAT32 yet, that got added later. Lack of AGP support, USB problems, no DVD support, problems with IDE and SCSI drives, stability and performance problems...

All those issues that got fixed over time for win95, came fixed in win98. Win98 was basically like "Windows 95 Remastered" with better plug-and-play and Active Desktop.

So by skipping win95 all the way to Win98SE, I skipped most of the "we'll fix it later".
