I was pretty happy with 3.1. It's terrible in retrospect, but viewed in the context of the early 90's, I don't think it was bad at all. Maybe not as stable as the Unix of the time (I wouldn't know), but it was usable by mere mortals and was still a lot more robust than WinMe. But then around the time of 98SE and Me, the 9x line just wasn't up to even the current expectations of the time. (And maybe my memory's foggy, but I seem to remember having more troubles with 98 than I did with 3.1. And Me was definitely much worse.)
