Mojave
Vista and I had come to an armistice. After SPI it seemed to work OK. Took a long time to boot, took up too much of my disk space and was a memory glutton, but not evil enough for me to go through the pain of loading Ubuntu or some such.
That was, until my start button stopped responding and my file system apparently was corrupted. The start button is a known bug (1 year-ish) which has no fix beyond reloading your OS. The file system thing is weird-- first level folders and files are visible, but when I try to load folder contents I get an empty window. The files are still there because I can load them using super sneaky methods. No viruses that I can find either.
I like playing around with Linux, but it doesn't have all the programs I need. I read dozens of journal articles a week and I make all my annotations using the commenting and highlighting tools in adobe. I've looked for an open source alternative, but as long as PDF's are the standard format for scientific publications, I think I'm stuck in in a microsoft world.
