Windows 98 is potentially more advanced than Vista

Well I wouldn't go as far as that, however some aspects of handling of CD and DVD-ROMs seem to be better in 98, Me, 2000 and XP than they do in Vista, for example, if you are browsing the contents of a disc in Explorer in Win 98/Me/XP/2000 and you decide to eject the CD without first closing the Explorer window, Windows does that for you. In Vista, however the window stays open when the CD is ejected, making things potentially messy when you try to recommence browsing. I know it's silly to try and browse a CD which isn't there but wasn't it so much easier that when you ejected a CD, Windows took care of the rest? Apart from that, Windows Vista is a fantastic operating system.
