Windows is a repeating pattern of a leap that stumbles, followed by the
fix-up release that works well.  Just like Vista and Windows 7, 2000 had
some annoying issues that were cleaned up in XP.  Windows 8 may well
again have annoying issues, and I might again wind up waiting for
Windows 9 to fix them.  Vista can be made to work fairly well, but
that's damning with faint praise.
