I still think Windows 98, SE (Second Edition) was the best Windows version ever released. It almost never crashed and everything worked, most of the time! I hope the Mars probe enjoys its upgrade.
Oh, and the Comments seem to be working again.

Did they encounter John McCaffee's dead-man switch?

Now it can start receiving messages about the vehicle warranty.

I hope that this upgrade doesn't create a sentient entity on Mars. At least not until Windows 10
