Which? MS-UNO is a joke, first of all. (DOS, which actually stands for Disk Operating System, can be taken as the Spanish word for two. The Spanish word for one is UNO, hence MS-UNO.)
Hiroshima and Chernobyl were nuclear incidents, and I guess that's somehow being linked to the stereotypical horridness of Windows 95 :P

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIH_virus So there was. I'm not sure if that's what the picture was referencing, though.

I think it just gave examples of disasters throughout the years: Hiroshima in '45, the Chernobyl breakdown in '86, and Windows in '95 ;D

Oh i get it now lol ;D

As for Windows 2000 I personally found it better than the first version of 98, but if 2000 crashed (which was rare), it was usually over, you had to reformat everything x.x

Windows ME was the worst - 2K was actually quite stable.

Yeah, I heard it was really bad in terms of crashing. From what I saw, Windows 95, 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista and 7 were ok in terms of stability, but regular 98 and ME were really bad. Windows 2000, when crashing, could be very bad, though, because when it crashed, it was usually over for your windows install.

Well, Vista isn't great, as I can attest to.  Stability is okay, though, I guess.
