> And yet Windows was successful even when unstable. Everybody had a friend who knew how to fix Windows. And it was a literally a job, there were fliers glued to lamp posts advertising "I install/fix/devirus Windows for a small fee". Also, during this time of unstable Windows, Linux was even worse. It wasn't the nice Linux desktop of today.
