I would disagree. I feel xp was the last good windows. After that it all went to shit.

Funny you say that. I did tech support when XP first came out, and I quit my job and switched to Linux.

XP SP2 was actually pretty good though.

You mean whatever one you first used and have an unhealthy nostalgia for. I mean Windows 98.

Give me Windows 95 with Microsoft Plus!

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.

Man Microsoft plus was awesome. I used to stare at the foucault pendulum for hours when I was a kid.

3.11. So good you had to type WIN to fuck your PC.

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.

This is the right question, it was the last 100% NT kernel before 9x ruined everything.
