flambonksciousQuality, but what about ME, and arguably 3.11. Does NT cover both 3.5.1 and 4? (my memory is hazy about earlier)
Fuck you. Bringing up ME and making me relive the memories. Even as a kid, I couldnât stand it wanted 98 back.
ME and Vista are by far the worst to date.

11 is trying its darnedest.
MxM111Really? I do not see much difference compared with 10, other than shifted start button.
The silenced cries of the side taskbarsâŠ
Yeah, this pissed me off. Itâs almost never useful, but spanning the whole x-axis on an ultra wide does make less sense.
I hated icon stacking also because I had a wide monitor and didnât want to have extra clicks.
Ironically, now I have so many things open, the stacking only makes sense when I get ~15 explorer windows open and theyâre all displayed as a tall list
TheCheddarCheeseWell aside from that, which shouldnât have been set by default imo, it has more bugs, ridiculous system requirements, requires a ms account even more than before and runs worse.
I guess however bad the versions before it might have been, they at least kind of had a point? 11 is just a shitty reskin to squeeze out those sweet licensing dollars. They didnât even bother changing the version number in the older releases.
I switched mostly to Linux when windows 8 was released, but I donât mind 11. It looks quite nice, the start menu is pretty good and normal again compared to the ugly full screen shitshow from windows 8 and the weird hybrid thing from windows 10 and most of that foreign mobile metro crap from windows 8 is gone again or reintegrated into the desktop.
Having tabs in the explorer is also super nice.
8 was quite bad too
8 only gets hate because people lost their minds with the start menu change.
I actually liked it then, you could just roughly click in the area and would hit the right shortcut.
I liked the start page. I donât use icons on the desktop though. Being able to pull up a customized shortcut screen was quite nice.
I can appreciate what youâre saying, but itâs a terrible idea to force a tablet paradigm in non-touch screen scenarios. 8 would have been fine if you could choose your start bar. Donât say this wasnât possible, because there was third-party software to make that happen.
I never said it was impossible to keep the old style. Though I do refuse that the start page is only useful to touchscreens. I would have preferred a bit more options than just large or small squares, but it still was a nice way to keep shortcuts close at hand without having them on the desktop. Bringing the shortcut screen over top of everything is much more useful than keeping the shortcuts at the bottom, on the desktop.
Frankly, I found it ridiculous that the start page got so much hate while stuff like bing searches being forced into the local machine search gets no reaction.
Ever tried to use all the hidden features on the sides and corners? Absolute nightmare with a mouse, fairly reasonable with touch. The UX was very dependent on the hardware being used.
And I hate the bing search bar, too, donât worry. Never used Cortana, occasionally use the search at the bottom of the screen, only select from installed apps or documents. I already know how to use a web browser, thanks, and they all let me choose my search engine, too.
Never really had a problem with the hidden side menu, though I didnât care for it either.
It had multiple personalities disorder. Two e-mails, two browsers, two settings. It was confusing as hell.
EtherWhackI personally never had any issues with Vista. Even deferred win7 for 4-5 years until I got curious. Though I did have a system made for it, so that was part of it.
mojofrododojoVista was a nightmare if you had OEM equipment that wasnât just vista compatible, but MADE FOR VISTA. Your experience was an aberration, most people got âvista compatibleâ PCs that were running vista but made with XP sp1 in mind. So youâd see these systems that had no hardware graphics acceleration beyond onboard anemic garbage trying to run menus with DOF blur and soft overlays just gagging, and god forbid you had to troubleshoot/support some software on some shit like this, it was a nightmare.
The rest of the people upgraded from XP to Vista themselves, and the smart ones went âOH FUCK NOâ and went back in droves.
