No, man. Windows 7 for lyfe!
XP would be enough.

I think W7 would be the very last option, everything after that has been shit, and getting worse. I still prefer XP though, except for the hideous UI.

I thought it’s the best version out there.

Don’t get me wrong, it is (Jesus, I have a hard time using this word for ANY Winblows, but I can’t think of anything else before coffee) good, no real complains other than the ridiculous resources usage, and the UI certainly beats the hell out of XP. But resources use is my issue, unnecessary background shit running all the time, whereas XP remained way lighter. As I said, anything after 7 has been consistent crap and has just been getting exponentially worse.
Anyway, Linux and Gnu has been my life for way too long now. I only know about Winblows issues because I come in here and hear my circle of acquaintances complaining, which only makes me laugh because they choose to keep dealing with that crap when there are so many options.

Think back… XP had many complaints at release too, wasn’t till sp2 or sp3 it was actually decent.

XP is also when they introduced the activation server.

You couldnt unzip 2 files at once. Not untill service pack 1.

Wait, you didn't just use PKWare zip & unzip? Or WinRAR?

Tip: use 7zip, it is the best on windows by far.
