I'd say Microsoft's history is quite the opposite. The oft cited example is that Visicalc, from the 80's still works! I'd say that's a pretty reliable platform. How many apple products from the 80's run on Leopard?
And on the other side, lots of google products are already defunct and they aren't even half M's age.
- rbanffy 17y agoYou define "reliable" as "can run Visicalc". I am not sure this is a good one. For me, reliable is "works every time the way I expect it to work". According to this, Windows is pretty reliable. The trick is in my expectations.
- allenbrunson 17y agohow about asking the guys at stac electronics how reliable they think windows is! that's the kind of thing i'm talking about.
