Take me back to the days of Windows 3.1. We've come far, haven't we?

The typical anti Microsoft person. :rolleyes:
I should go install Win 1.00 in a VM for fun.
Aaah. The simple days when using task manager to kill a hung process resulted in a crash.

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:

Also the Vista slide is spot on.

I really like this article. It was very unbiased.

I'm not sure if that guy knows the meaning of the word 'popular'.
But then again, judging from that post, there can't be much that he actually knows.

He's obviously a computer illiterate who doesn't know that downloading every toolbar that you find AND using Norton/McAfee will keep your computer secure as a safe made of swiss cheese.
Oh god, windows 98 memories

I'm anti shit in general, not everything Microsoft puts out sucked, but I'll never forget the ones that I was stuck with.
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.

this
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.

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.

Since when did non-NT based Windows have service packs?

Not to mention the unofficial service pack updates that are flying around, too.

I always become confused when I hear people say that Vista sucks. 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.

Retarded bandwagons, that's why.
Anyone who actually has used Vista before knows that there's barely any difference between Win7 and Vista.

The only thing is that it took me ages to figure out where all the customization was at.

I used the Beta on a 1.6GHz sempron and 512mb RAM.

I never understood people saying vista was bad either. 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.

I removed Vista after CS1.6 started getting 10 fps and Flash froze every time I moved an object.
