95/98/ME was kind of the other way around. 95? Shitty, unstable OS. 95B/SR2? Surprisingly stable, by Win95 standards. 95C/SR2.5? Shitty OS again because of the Internet Explorer integration baked into everything in the fucking shell.

Same deal with 98 -- the initial release was a crash-prone mess, but 98 SE fixed a lot of that through improved hardware support.

...and then there's Windows ME, which was just dogshit all around. Love it when my OS decides to optimize a slow-ass PATA disk and corrupt the kernel while doing so.

(And Vista was just 7 with really nonsensical branding/segmentation, and released for use on hardware that hadn't caught up yet. Vista Ultimate was legit if you had a beefy enough CPU and tuned a few things in the OS.)
