It took a ton of service packs and updates till it became good, and only the professional edition. Let not the rose colored glasses fool you, it was shit for most of its existence.

Personally I really like Windows 10.
Great UI, good usability and fast. All I want. No bluescreen, nothing. Everything works just fine.

Enjoy it fellow anon.

Win2k was the last good Windows imo.

All the stupid bullshit started to creep in starting with WinME and XP.

Win10 is shit

Win98 started the whole integrating your web browser with your OS. Technically it was IE5 which was available for Win95, but Win98 had it packaged in and people just had to accept it.

>>50778212
Is windows 10 really good?
>>
>>50778295
It's better than XP, that's for sure.
>>
>>50778317
It better be, would be really shameful if a 14 year old OS ran better than a brand new one.

But seriously, is it actually good?

Looks nice, too.

It's alright. There aren't a lot of major differences between 10 and 7, to be honest.

Take Windows 7. Change the UI slightly to be more appealing to normies and the smartphone generation. Destroy privacy with many elements of telemetry and tracking. You now have Windows 10®
>>
>>50776270
Yes, i turned back to xp several days ago from win 7... new world
>>
Windows 10 you won't agree now but considering your mentality you'd say 10 is a decade later when holograph OS becomes big
>>
>>50778482
How did you make the taskbar transparent?
>>
>>50777982
But that's windows 7...
>>
>>50778738
So it's worse than windows 7.
I'm fucking tired of this social media centred tech development.

I want back to the good old times, the future isn't any fun at all, it's just like fiction just without all the cool stuff.
>>
>>50778846
Program called "Classic Shell". I think it's in the advanced settings somewhere.

windows 10 is almost perfect
i just cant remove onedrive
all online 'remove_onedrive.bat' scripts remove the app, but not its presence in explorer

almost perfect fam

been VISTA since it came out, I see no reason to upgrade, Vista is pretty good

The only thing that bothers me about Windows 10 is how the window borders are so white. Is there any way to make them black like the taskbar?

No surprise there

>>50781153
Vista literally overhauled the entire OS into something actually ready for the internet. Seriously, look at this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_Vista

2000 and XP was the awkward middle-child between the simple DOS-based Windows of the 90s and the large, powerful NT 6-based Windows of 2007 onwards, if anything.
>>
>>50781248
Yeah too bad implementation was shit. At the time, not all hardwear could run vista and all the other programs without eating up a shit ton of ram. What good is a new engine in a nice car if you can only drive for 2 miles at a time before you have to add more gas?

Windows 7 is clearly superior to vista.
>>
>>50781310
Windows 7 runs like shit too when I put it on a Pentium 4 PC with 1GB of RAM like manufacturers were doing with Vista.
>>
>>50778212
Aside from 95 this is a pretty damn accurate trend for normies.

Everyone hated ME, Vista and 8. XP, 7 and 10 were the "big" windows OSes
