What? Windows 7 was probably the best version of windows ever just ahead of 2000.
Windows 8 was where the cliff was.
People look back at XP through rose tinted glasses. It was incredibly insecure in every way. Vista made the security architecture changes needed. Windows 7 was polish on top.
Windows 8 was where metro, start menu ads, auto installing unwanted apps, and ruining Windows control panel / settings happened.
XP was just 2000 with a teletubby desktop. I absolutely hated it.
you take that back!
Bliss is beautiful >:c
They’re right though, XP’s Luna was garbage.
I liked it. But I also used the "classic" interface anyway, so....
Whatever Windows you matured with is the best Windows. Mine was Windows 2000. Thanks, Dad 😂
Except ME. We don't talk about that one...
So, DOS?
DOS isn't Windows. Consumer versions of Windows happened to run on top of DOS until XP was released in 2001.
Maybe I should rephrase: the OS you matured with is the best OS.
Half the programs I needed to use in Windows 3.1, and 3.11 required a DOS prompt to run. It wasn't until NT that almost all software caught up enough to not need that DOS prompt so much. Although AutoCAD R9 ran like crap in NT on the 386 with math co-processor. So I needed to reboot into DOS every time I needed CAD.
Prolly, I don't really remember tbh.
That makes sense. Lol.
