It was the last Windows version that felt it was primarily made for desktop use.
Windows 8 tried to be a hybrid between mobile operating system, and Windows 10 and onward feels more like an advertising platform for Office 365 and Microsoft’s AI services.
I would disagree. I feel xp was the last good windows. After that it all went to shit.
You mean Windows 2000?
You mean whatever one you first used and have an unhealthy nostalgia for. I mean Windows 98.
3.11. So good you had to type WIN to fuck your PC.
Give me Windows 95 with Microsoft Plus!
Nah, Windows 3.11 is peak
You say that until you think back and TCP/IP wasn't a native protocol so you had to use and configure something like Trumpet Winsock for your SLIP or PPP connection. Dark days, man.
The first version of Windows I used was 2.0. NT was a huge improvement over the DOS based ones, but things started to go downhill with XP.
You mean 98SE
