Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned. So, I was at Steve Jobs' 2004 WWDC keynote yesterday, attempting to take pictures for OSNews (an amazingly hard task, by the way, which really explained why people pay big bucks for big lenses equipped with image stabilizers). UPDATE: Stop reading right there, I have rewritten & updated the article here.

I'm sorry, but the transition between windows 98 and windows 2000/XP is just not big. The only major things that changed were in the backend. New kernel, improved stability. No major changes in the GUI. Just a little bit of cleaning up. I mean, win2k was a nice update, but far from a revolution like dos-windows or macos9-macosx. I think you are seriously overestimating your "knowledge in the field".
I think *you* may be overestimating your knowledge in the field. Windows 9x and Windows NT series are different operating systems. The only thing they maintain is API compatibility and a similar look and feel. If you don't think that that's a big deal, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. That said, mac os 9 - mac os x is a similar major transition. The main difference being the barely tried to maintain API compatibility and they changed the look and feel.
