What was the last good version of Windows?
7
>>10946969910 but when the new ltsc come out it will be 11.
11 but debloated
>>109469738>Windows Userlol at the concept of users' /g/ posts being branded with their OS and user agent

XP, because:-no cringy blurry ClearType that causes headaches, fonts were razor sharp. Mindblowingly, ClearType actually existed in that version but was opt-in.-"auto download updates but install when I want." option. This is in sharp contrast to Windows 11 that recreates the update service even if you literally delete it and everything related to it. Also the updates didn't install Copilot and other bullshit but instead they were security or driver updates. It was in Debian style. From what I hear XP's team also did a lot of testing which is also in the Debian spirit.Yeah it had IE 6 and RPC/LSASS exploit memes. All of XP's memes were funny though, Windows 11 is just sad.
>>109469699XP was the only good one
>>109469760
>>109469699Windows 2000. XP just added bloat and Fisher Price interface.
>>109469858This reminds me wasn't there a time at some point were you could publish your email on your post like a field or was that another chan?
>>109469699>>109443449
>>109469916the email field was where the options field is now and you could type sage into it which was visible and would say "mailto:sage" which was a useless link. (sage still works the same way, but just not visible)sage was made invisible because moot didn't like that it was used to "downvote" threads.
>>109469823are you retarded xp was so shit it pushed the release of vista back by 3 years
>>109469699The most recent one
>>1094697127 was the last tolerable.
>>109469738Going from 7 to 10 was absolutely shit because it added a one frame input delay that could not be worked around. Fucked up all my muscle memory for the high precision platformers I used to play as a kid
>>109469822NT6 did a massive amount of damage. But blurry text is not part of that. You can disable font smoothing in Vista/7 and the it renders exactly the same as XP.
2000 was good, XP was kinda just OK. Vista was pretty good looking but ran like shit and had tons of compatibility problems. 7 was kino but I still could live without all the aero garbage.
>>109469699Good? 95 or 98SETolerable? 7.
>>109470346>95 or 98SEmemory leaking shit. everything before NT was trash.
>>109469699This was my personal favorite but everyone said they kneeded more...
>>109469712Fpbp.
>>109469712This. Still using it today.
>>109469699the one you grew up with
3.1.
>>109469699ME was the last version with SOVL.
using win11 enterprise 25H2..it just werks on my machine
>>109470927win11 is the definition of not working
>>109469699win2k
>>109470004by visible sage you mean there's a certain label that indicates a post is a sage?
>>109469699Probably 8.1
>>109469699Trick question. It was never good. We just used it because we were young and didn't know any better.
>>109471464when you typed an email it would say mailto:dumbass@faggot.com where your name was and you could click the link to email Anonymous (which no one actually did).if you typed sage, mailto:sage would show up instead and everyone would know that you "saged" the thread. This was used to "sage-bomb" threads where people would spam the thread to post limit with sages. By today's standards that may sound horrible, but it was the chan culture back then. However, at some point, some people including moot realized this was similar to reddit's downvote feature, so sage was made invisible. Eventually the email field was removed altogether but sage is still functional to this day. All it does is not bump a thread, contrary to the then-common belief that it somehow anti-bumps threads.

>>109469712FPBP
>>109471464>>109469699>windows>good version
>>109470630kek I still remember how it crashed just by accessing the desktop folder from the file explorer
>>109472205>didn't run Windows ME once in his life
>>109469699>What was the last good version of Windows?None. Windows None Of Them was last good version.
>>109469712Thinking back on it, 7 was the only one I don't remember people complaining about during its heyday. The people that say XP was better have likely never ran it on bare metal.
>>109469712>7This. >>109469822>>109469823>XP Early zoomer/late millennial moment>>109469874>Windows 2000. XP just added bloat and Fisher Price interfaceCorrect. Although 2000 was better than 9x, it was still quite shit. XP only became acceptable with SP2.>>109470346>Good? 95 or 98SERetard larp moment. No-one that used 9x and suffered regrot, dll hell, and daily bsod would say this. And if you didn't get those you obviously didn't use your pc for anything.>>109470630>Melmao good one, anon.
>>109472497I used XP a lot before 7. On bare metal. I set up computers for it for school. XP was never bad and this is the first Ive heard someone shitting on it.
>>109472618>XP was never badNta, it absolutely was. What year did you start using it?
>>109472627The year it came out til Vista. And remained on it till 7 for obvious reasons.
>>109472589>>7>This.This>>XP >Early zoomer/late millennial momentTrvke, but XP was still great. I'm an early zoomer and I love XP, probably not because of the features, but more because it reminds me of better times.
>>109469699used>windows 2000>windows xp>window 7I'd say 7 because every toaster I own that this uses it is still snappy as hell and doesn't bug me with news, ads or some google search result in search by default.
>>1094696997 for nostalgia.8.1 for raw performance and speed.10 (1903 specifically) for the most up-to-date version.
>>109473497Not sexy and hypersexualized enough.Opinion rejected.
>>1094735057-tan is modest at heart you degenerate
>>109473531I love 11-tan more.
>>109473504XP for nostalgia too?
>>109469699xp sp3
>>109469699In terms of comfiness, it's a toss up between XP with the "Classic" visual style and 3.1. In terms of performance and stability, it's a toss up between 7 and 8.1. So the answer to your question is 8.1 (with OpenShell, of course).10 and 11 are completely intolerable, with the single exception of 10 LTSC, which is remarkably usable, and has acceptable performance even on an HDD. That being said, 7 and 8.1 still mog it.
>>109469699hand2god it be windows millennial edition. making every other release look like nigger toilet shit frrfr nocap.
vista was the only good windows and i’m not trolling
>>109471505>Probably 8.1yes, still running 8.1 on one of my 5 PCs, others run Linux Mint, Windows is no longer a 'personal' computer, Linux is the only user-centric OS
I'd say 7, although I think windows 8 wasn't as terrible that people make it out to be. Windows 10 had such a ridiculous amount of childhood diseases, and it's the only OS I've ever downgraded back to an earlier OS from. I think it's tolerable now, but I was never a big fan. Pretty much the same with 11, but I still use it because it came with my pcs. But I'd probably use windows 10 iot ltsc instead.
>>10946969910 but when 12 comes out it will be 11
>>1094696993.1
minimum usability? 7objectively good all around? any pre-05 NT line, XPs forgotten siblings 8.1 still has telemetry baked into the kernel and is no different from 10
>>109470412blaming complier for the whole thing. retard. as if linux did better.>>109472205>hi i don't install service packs.okay retard. they said the same about win 95 untill C edition then silence.just liek windows 98SEargueablly windows 98SE was the peck of programming efficiency.
>>109472589Me was customiseable for early multicore and was user customisableafter the last update it got some what stable if yoiu had a pentium 4 or athlon 64 system. even pentium 3 and early athonthe problem is you tards never put these on systems that can run it. it needs a mimium of 64mb and recomended of 512mb. the problem with ME was ini files and viruses but toady no one can get online with ME so all the complaints dried up.
>>109469712Easily and it's not even close.
>>109469699It’s been basically the same since Windows 95.
>>109469699Win2k was the best version. Winnt kernel, none of the bloat which later versions had.
>windows>good
>>109469699only tech tards have "trouble" with windowsmore than 99 of 100 people in the real world have little to no issues using microsoft products including iwndows
>>109480116nah win11 is horrible, doing anything requires peeling layers of bad gui decisions.
>>109480163statistically, your grandma has less troubles operating windows 11 than you do, lil bro
>>109478392this,. 8.1tards are the biggest weirdos
>>109478392best win 2k proalso great windows server 2008r2also good win xpalso good dos 6.22, dos 5.0 win 3.1last good consumer os 7Interesting but not good and not bad 98SE, NT4.0, 95 osr2, win 10bados/2nt 3.5.1win 8win 11vista98me9598dos 4.0
>>109478392>>109482800truth told
>>109470412>>109472589Worked on my machine - 486 dx/2 66mhz with 32megs of RAM>regrot??>dll hellSometimes annoying but it wasn't a thing you had to deal with often>daily bsodThey did happen but not daily. Between biweekly and monthly.
>>109470445if you didnt think that was soulless compared to everything else that preceded it idk what to say
>>109469699The ones that i used in my childhood so i can look at the with nostalgia without caring about their objective boons (if any). So Windows 95 (with Plus! Thems) and Windows 98.Other than that windows has always been shit.
>>109486642nah sorry my childhood had windows XP primarily, and because ic an only confirm my own existence and you could jst as well be a bot, youre wrong and only XP was good. did 98 have the windows game pack with shit like ski free and stuff in it? that was kind of based my grandpa had that and i played it during easter.:^)
Matters how much modding you're willing to do and what hardware you have.Shitty 32bit PC? XP hands down.Good 32bit or shitty 64bit? extremely modded Vista or 7 based on what drivers you can get to work reliably (Vista can be upgraded with parts of 7 since they're both NT 6.x)Good 64bit? 7 or 10, again, based on what drivers you can get to work reliablyPersonal fave? TempleOS, obviously, I use Windows only for gaming, school and internet, TempleOS can do everything elseI have a Xeon E5-2687W v4 with 128GB DDR4 with 2x Quadro P6000 in SLI, 2x Hitachi 500Gig HDDs, PS/2 peripherals, 1x 22" QXGA CRT and 2x 19" UXGA CRTs system that pulls so much power I had to get solar panels to alleviate the massive consumption so the bills won't be in quadruple digits with the rest of the stuff I have
Actual tech is fragmenting into linux, old operating systems like 7 and XP and DOS, CPU symbos and many more and much of it is going offline or into niches driven by older middled aged guys. What's left on the cloud and subscibe and 'social' media is pure slop for absolute retards like the third world and zoomers/milennials who only used computers to consume and make slop anyway
They should have stopped at Windows 286.
>>109469712fpbpThe 10 dick riding is crazy, it's why Windows sucks as much shit as it does now. Even 8 was better.
>>109472589ignore the bloat and interface. when we say XP was the last good version we're talking about server 2003
The answer is server 2003 x64 SP2Also, never install one core api on your machine, it's made by some retarded indian faggot and it has over 9000 regressions and crashes. Get ready to backup and restore your drive if you do because you can't uninstall it and it also breaks safe mode kek
95 or 2000Theh actually gave a shit
>>109469712sovl, I agree with your statement
Sorry I have a security update to install. Reboot in 10,9,8,7,6... brb
>>10946975311 LTSC
Windows 11 26H2, they are fixing all the problems.
>>109499359windows will never be fixed until they fire all the indians there
>>109469699Trick question, there was never a good version of Windows.
