I didn't expect really expect anything more there to back up your argument. "Because it's 98" well, gee, I never realised that one; I'd better let all my clients know this asap & tell them to spend loads of money to upgrade from 98 now!!!

ME isn't better than 98, it's 98 spruced up with a lot of pointless features and visually appealing screens, but within the process of adding all these points, a lot of bugs have been introduced and some functionality has been lost or been moved so it's harder to find.
