The last great Windows before Microsoft began its enshittification.
7 was the first and last version of Windows I didn’t immediately despise.
It was the last Windows version that felt it was primarily made for desktop use.
Windows 8 tried to be a hybrid between mobile operating system, and Windows 10 and onward feels more like an advertising platform for Office 365 and Microsoft’s AI services.
Was 10 actually alright early on in its life, or was I just unaware? I don’t remember any of the advertising and spyware crap back when I first upgraded from 7.
I would disagree. I feel xp was the last good windows. After that it all went to shit.
Funny you say that. I did tech support when XP first came out, and I quit my job and switched to Linux.
XP SP2 was actually pretty good though.
You mean Windows 2000?
You mean whatever one you first used and have an unhealthy nostalgia for. I mean Windows 98.
You mean 98SE
3.11. So good you had to type WIN <ENTER> to fuck your PC.

Give me Windows 95 with Microsoft Plus!
Man Microsoft plus was awesome. I used to stare at the foucault pendulum for hours when I was a kid.
Nah, Windows 3.11 is peak
You say that until you think back and TCP/IP wasn’t a native protocol so you had to use and configure something like Trumpet Winsock for your SLIP or PPP connection. Dark days, man.
The first version of Windows I used was 2.0. NT was a huge improvement over the DOS based ones, but things started to go downhill with XP.
