OP could have had more content, but an interesting read. [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] Take me back to the days of Windows 3.1. We've come far, haven't we?

Aaah. The simple days when using task manager to kill a hung process resulted in a crash.
[quote]It proved to be a popular (albeit unstable) OS.[/quote] On windows 98. Teehee. An interesting read to say the least. Although I must say, Windows 1 and 2 live on through the high contrast theme in Windows 7 :v: [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] Also the Vista slide is spot on. [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] I really like this article. It was very unbiased.

methinks OP's name does not fit the thread anyway updating this post after I read the article [editline]1st December 2010[/editline] while i'm using linux edit: just realised only windows system I really like is windows xp don't like aero at all
PC world is crap, they have crap sources and half of their tech support are neckbearded lonely illiterates.

Oh god, windows 98 memories

My reactions to every release: WIN95 : DOS with Gui, crap WIN98 : Win95, with less bugs NT4 : Neat stuff WIN Me : Unspeakable shit Win 2000 : Ok, I forgive you for that last transgression Win XP : Uh, 2000 got kinda fat Win Vista : The fuck. Win 7 : What Vista should have been.
2000 was the best version of windows in my eyes [editline]1st December 2010[/editline] it was a skinny-decaf-windows-xp
nLited XP forever! :buddy:
I used Me for 2 years and it never crashed on me.. And I was 5 years old.

I used ME for about the same period when I was a kid. I think it's around 2000-2002 (because XP had been out for a while and I was still on ME). I got a blue screen mayby once a month, it wasn't that bad.

Win 7 : What Vista should have been.[/QUOTE] Uhh, Win98 crashed more than ME before SP updates. I never actually had many problems with both, though. XP wasn't really fat at all, and I really don't understand the Vista hatewagon. Windows 7 is almost exactly the same as Vista.
[QUOTE=TheGuru;26427840]nLited XP forever! :buddy:[/QUOTE] Maybe, when xp was popular.
2000 and 7 are my favourite Windows versions. But I'll always have a soft spot for my first computer with DOS/Win3.1 and Commander Keen with 1MB of RAM, and also my primary schools old as Mac with Monkey Island and some contraption game where you had to complete a task with balls, ramps, TNT, rope and all that.

I used it right when it came out and for two years after that, and I'm actually still using it today on my laptop, and I've never had a single problem. Performance was always great and was just increased & refined with the service packs. It was never sluggish and I really noticed no difference between it and Windows 7 except for the GUI.

I used it when it first came out until I got Win7, and so did a few mates, only problem some of them had were with early nvidia drivers but that's not a Vista problem itself.
