I thought Windows 7 was the best once you got used to it but have also been very happy with Windows 10. There are some things that 10 has and does well that were not available in 7 such as the virtual desktops.
While others complain about Windows Vista, I got lucky and never had a problem with it.
Now, Windows 8, that was an insult to computer users.

And the CEO of the company that pushed these crap releases on the Windows users is now trying to push COVID vaccines and masks and all things leftist.
It’ll be just like his OS releases where the vaccines are not fully tested and the expectation is that the public will be the final test and debug of the vaccines.
BEWARE!!!

The Blue Screen of Death will be redefined to mean actual death of the recipient of the vaccine.

"I remembered going from the beauty of Windows XP Service Pack 2 to the nightmare of Vista" Loved Windows XP Service Pack 2...
Still have two functional systems as VM's and one old workstation that I still (occasionally) fire up and use for a few of things...

Vista stunk at first, but by the time it was patched it was as close to Windows 7 without being Windows 7 as it could be. It wasn’t half bad towards the end of its life.

That would be me! Wasn’t there a Windows 98 or something? To my knowledge that’s the worst with XP/Vista tied for second. I will state that Windows 3.1 actually worked...not very well but it at least worked! 98 was the prototype for releasing untested software and having the customers do the beta testing. It was genius from a marketing perspective...having your customers pay you to do your beta testing!

Agreed. I still have XP on a hard drive that I can reinstall in my desktop if I wanted to.

Frankly I’ve never seen any reason to “upgrade” from XP. Once it was SPed it worked just fine.

Win10 won’t see my android cell phone and there’s no fix for it. Too “old”. Win7 never had any trouble with it.

I skipped 8,Vista and ME. My favorites are XP (Professional) and 7.
To: doorgunner69
Yep same list here... And I switched to linux as soon as Win 10 came out. I will never look back again. “piece of mind without hassle” is a huge thing...

I think the problem was that by the time they fixed everything, machines that came with Vista initially had a hard time keeping up with the system requirements. So while the operating system itself may have finally worked, it outlived its usefulness on those machines.

Yep. Windows ME wasn’t all that bad, for me at least. No doubt in my mind that Vista should be #1.
