Windows 1.0 sucked. No mouse.
Windows 2.0. Better, mouse support.
Windows 3, was ok. Windows 3.11 for Workgroups even better.
NT 4.0. My goto OS for a long time.
Win 95. Major change from 3.11. Liked it.
Win 98. Fixed a few things from 95 that sucked.
Win 2k. Mixed bag.
ME sucked.
XP SP2 stopped the suckage XP had initially.
Server 2003 was ok. Still running this on 2 of my servers.
Vista was outright malware.
7 has turned out ok.
Server 2008 sucked. But R2 cured that. Running this on 3 of my servers.
Win 8 sucks. 8.1 sucks less, but is still annoying. More stable, faster, but sucks from my Net Admin standpoint. Doesn’t matter how fast it is or how I can tweak it if I can’t get my end users to want to use it.

Haven’t seen Server 2010 yet. Been working more with Linux, VMWare, and OSX these days.

Interested to see what direction they take 9.

Vista makes Win 8 look good. I still hate the win 8 UI. Works on a tablet, not a laptop or desktop. I’m sticking with Win 7 for my Windows needs, though I primarily uses OSX.
