Yes, that sounds about right. Vista Capable was the in between certification level created for all the machines that could technically run Vista, but couldn't do it very well.

Windows 98SE is one of the all time great Windows releases... IMO. I loved the crap out of Win98SE.

I ran it for a long time, but like its predecessors, it reached the point where multiple reboots per day were required, and the only cure was reformat and reinstall from scratch. (I had a complex setup, but I saw the same issues on machines with only vanilla Win98 and MS applications.)
Win2K was a dramatic difference, and those problems went away.

In their infinite Wisdom, they have decided to skip a number. Rampant speculation has ensued.
My favorite theory thus far: "Windows 7 8 9". Get it? Get it? (Just say it out loud)

I won't pretend to guess what MS was thinking. I will be curious to see what all Win 10 has. What has been reported thus far, like a Start menu and virtual desktops, is all stuff you can get in Win 8.1 now through third-party offerings.
