I liked Vista (I was never a RAM peasant & I liked the glass theme) and hated XP.
I was also always sad how Me was brutally sodomised by shitty third party drivers (who just renamed 98 drives).
I considered W8 and 11 just as mediocre moneygrabs or maybe a marketing stunt.
That's not completely true, in Linux there are many points where old software sucks and new software isn't ready for mass adoption. Like when everyone knew x11 was deprecated but nothing supported Wayland (to this day major WMs like cinnamon and xfce still haven't switched over and most small wms never will). It gets better over time but there are dips in quality and Linux devs do sometimes make mistakes.
comparing macos to gravity's rainbow just smells right
Windows Vista was better than 8 and 10, a lot of legacy devices in industry kept extended Vista support for years and years.
Having used both, Windows Vista was much worse than windows 8.
y'all it's supposed to be a timeline, a hand drawn one too, that's why 8 is where it is. you guys are taking this way too seriously
Win10 is not that bad. And Me was never as bad as Vista or (especially) 8. Also, Linux is not a linear curve, it's stepped.
ME was the worst. DOS based windows 9x in a world with Win2k and XP launched only 1 year later
ME Was DOA even if it had been a "flawless" continuation of 98SE
I would rather describe Windows as a dampened oscillation with an undefined steady state.
