To make this "every second version" myth appear to be true, you have to close your eyes every now and then.
And also to tell stories about "bad" versions that is confirmed by a lot of people who never used these versions, but have heard a lot of rumours about how "bad" those versions were, so it simply must be true that they were bad, regardless of what the people tell who have used it. (They just refuse to admit that they made a wrong choice using those versions, and try to cover it by making false claims about stability.)

well, back in those days, there were "two" windows versions - those for companies (NT3.51, 2k, etc) - They got merged later on (today's windows still based on NT kernel)
but the private, "home" versions were 95,98,Millenium. With XP they were "one" as far as I can remember.
I may be wrong, it's been a long time since then.

With the exception of Vista (which was cr@p), I have tried all of the Windows versions from WIN 3.1 onwards.
I beg to differ regarding Windows ME. I found it quite stable. It may have helped that the shop I worked at was an almost completely Microsoft shop (with the exception of a few people who swore by the Borland C++ compiler...)

I'm fairly certain we are the only two people who think that. On my Pc it was faster than Win98 too.

Yeah - that's the general rule I've lived by since the Win 3.1 days. NT4 and Win2K were rock solid.

Maybe Microsoft has learnt its lessons from the past, and this is indeed a good release.

Oh, that's funny. Microsoft learning its lesson! Yeah, when cows fly. 
It might be a pretty good rule to skip every other version but I'm still going to give it a try. It's a free upgrade. I don't think it's going to differ all that much from Win10.
