Microsoft keeps shooting itself in the foot with Edge::Microsoft Edge is full of fantastic features, but the tech company makes it hard to appreciate them.

    the only product that truly impressed me was NT

    I hated Windows NT from day 1, any driver or update could potentially brick your system, and there was no command line to boot into to fix it. It wasn’t until service pack 3 that it became reasonably stable. I simply don’t understand how Microsoft could ever be considered a maker of professionel software. The most impressive thing about Windows NT was the stupidity of it, and the completely outrageous claims Microsoft made about “security” features.

      Yeah maybe I was thinking of NT 3.5.1. Whatever version it was, it was our first experience of a Windows version that was stable. It was a long time ago, my memory isn’t great. I think we were forced to develop on Windows 95 until we could get the NT licenses and hardware.
