    I’m speaking from experience in using theses OSes, not from a list of features they had. I didn’t use NT 4 personally (and that’s way outside the scope of personal computer OSes), so I didn’t talk about it.

      So you continued to run 3.1 after Win95 came out? I listed the features because it’s why it was so much better for me and everyone.

      Trumpet was amazing because it worked, not because it was reliable. Win95 was far more stable than 3.1 because the tcpip stack, along with much of the OS was preemptively multitasked.

      The desktop UI feature was far more usable than Win3.1 progman. You needed to install Norton or Symantec Desktop to get an equivalent experience.

      If you claim that the desktop UI doesn’t matter because it’s a feature, then Windows 8 becomes a great version. Because it’s only problem was the UI. It’s speed and stability was better than 7.
