Also, I appreciate the time and effort that you have spent in sharing to us the history of Microsoft windows.

      be happy about it bhupendra, xp and windows 7 are among the best windows os ever. before xp u might have felt a likely hood with windows 98 may be.. but.. most of them are crap. I really hope the pc industry will suffer a lot if windows 8 becomes a failure like vista.
