Windows has been malware since ~~the vista days~~ it came out because of the DRM
Windows 3.1 was fine and fast. They should have stopped there.
3.1 looked terrible.
2000 was stable and looked decent for it's time. Enjoyed the look of 10, but behind the scenes it was invasive. 11 is terrible on the looks* and the invasiveness.
*) seriously... it looks dated and cluttered after using something like Gnome for a while
2000 was amazing. Constantly rebooting was a normal thing and everyone from techs to end users was fine with it, because it was normal.
One day I was telling my bf, "This thing has been running for a month! I got 30-days uptime!"
Can someone write a 64 bit Windows for Workgroups 3.11?
https://reactos.org/ ?
Is this any good? Looks pretty neat for helping people switch
Its been in alpha since the 90s and can't run anything past vista last I checked. For most mint with wine is probably still ideal. I was just being silly and giving a genuine reply
Oh I see.Yeah, it looks a little jank lol.mint has run all my windows programs, fine
Progman.exe for the win
Unpopular opinion: Windows peaked with Vista.
Vista had its troubles, but that was mostly due to drivers, which aren’t 100% on Microsoft. There was also performance issues, but I think some of that was due to underpowered hardware…
Once the Service Packs came out and the drivers matured, vista was stable, easy to use, and introduced a bunch of good features.
Everything past vista has been stupid and non sensical. They constantly change things, then have to roll back.
I have to use windows 11 at work, it’s terrible with weird bugs and performance issues. The funniest thing is my work issued me a high powered surface branded laptop.
Microsoft can’t even blame the issues on any other vendor, it’s a 1st party device, windows should be the best on surface devices. Especially given they have been making them for years and years
Windows 7 was up-to-date Vista with a new start menu and a different name and people absolutely loved it from the start.
Vista era was when they were working on new driver models, graphics APIs, filesystem, a new shell, etc.
Sure most of them ended up sucking or didn't ship at all, but at least they were trying to improve the core of the OS.
Since then it's been 100% driven by marketing and adbusing their users.
Peaked with xp imo
