8/8.1 were better than 7/10
Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining

Sounds like what happened when Windows 8 came out. Oops I meant Windows Vista. My bad, I’m thinking of Windows Me. Sorry, I might have it confused with NT 3. Everyone loved Windows 2.0 right?

If you had a touchscreen, 8 was great. I ran 8 on my Yoga and enjoyed it. But I must admit 8.1 was significantly better than 8.
And 10 was better than 8.1, so I mostly disagree with you.
But yeah, I really didn’t mind 8/8.1.

10 didn’t have metro so it was a downgrade for kb + mouse
Even used this on browser

Far better. Let the crowd shout. Win 8.1 was the last version enjoyable.

Every other version of Windows. It’s practically a rule.

98 Second Edition was 'da bomb at the time :) Much more stable than Win95, and not yet phoning home like XP. I get nostalgic seeing the splash screen.
After that, I switched to Win2K, as the last windows that did not phone home - and then straight to Linux, a decision I have never regretted and will never regret.

I agree, but we can’t leave out Windows 7

Seems like they’re on track to break the streak with Windows 12.

XP was terrible until sp2 and in fact so insecure that people all over the world got infected by all kinds of shit.

People forgot or are too young to remember, but XP needed several “service packs” before it was good.
