agree with 10 its hopeless theres a reason why pretty much all business and schools here in the UK at least use 7 still
Windows 95 OSR 2.1 (IIRC came with IE 4.0?), this was really polished. 98SE was pretty good for a while but Windows ME was a stinker. No dos mode and none of the NT reliability/hardware model. Windows 2000 was awesome, and XP was only an interface update to that. Windows 7 I use currently, it's stable, and works with most every piece of software I need it to. Windows 10 would introduce some problems inevitably, and I wasn't a fan of Windows 8.x either. Windows 7- because if it's not broke, don't fix it. Though, that being said, I really loved the fileman application (File Manager, which became Explorer.exe in Windows), that came with Windows 3.1 & Windows 3.11 WFW & Windows NT 3.x
7. Just 7. --- Post updated --- Windows 8/8.1 is the worst IMO. I have no problems using Me or Vista but 8/8.1 isn't that good.
Microsoft seem to follow a tick/tock model, like Intel. All the major redesigns of their system (95, 2000, Vista, 8) sucked big time until some significant revision building upon them (98, XP, 7, 10) debuted.
Correction: Windows ME. 2000 was fine, as it had drivers, and worked. ME on the other hand... well, DOS/9x drivers required, but ME doesn't do good with DOS/9x drivers.
Millenium wasn't a "major redesign". When 2000 was launched, it was so "new" that nothing worked properly. It was conceived to be the ideal replacement for both the 9x and the NT family, yet it had kind of a slow start, 3rd parties failed to adapt and provide decent support for it for quite some time (forcing MS to focus on ME for home users instead), so much that 2000 never gained traction as a home/consumer product and lived it's early life as "the successor of NT4" in professional contexts and nothing else. Microsoft themselves needed 4 Service Packs to bring 2000 to a satisfactory level. When it finally got there, XP and had already wiped the floor for it, both as a home and SoHo offering.
I used to love vista for the layout, but as of now i like windows 8.1/windows 10. 10 is better by far, but 8.1 looked cool.
Personally I love windows vista SP3, It was the windows I grew up with and actually if they had just released SP3 first then vista probably wouldn't have been hated so much because I had no problems using windows vista SP3, it was only when I used SP1 and SP2 that I realized just how awful windows vista initially was XD
Wait. I probably get it. He probably meant Windows 7 because some people said that Windows 7 is "Vista SP3"...
