No, the last version of my that was vulnerable was 3.5.1
2000 was better than xp for a year after XP came out. You couldn’t even boot XP on a driver bigger than 128GB where 2000 had that bug already patched.
I mean people with tight corporate requirements cannot. Certain headaches with security designations, not all software works great in Linux, even though most do.
My point is there’s no required savvyness like it used to a couple decades ago.
A corporation is arguably best positioned to make the transition. The one I work at has all their administrative systems as cloud apps. The few production systems that run native can be run in a Citrix or RDP environment. Even now, with user stations running Windows, these systems are accessed through RDP for… reasons anyway.
Yes, XP was pretty great too! Can’t say much about 95, we switched from DOS directly to 98 back then, which crashed all the time. I heard good things about 98SE though.
Absolutely not. First win10 release already tried to force me into using a microsoft account, had adware and trial crap preinstalled, the terrible settings windows situation, borderline unusable start menu search function, hard to disable cortana bullshit, etc. etc.
Microsoft account crap wasn’t as bad as it is in the most recent releases.
also win10 is the first version to introduce some significant changes that make windows so much less annoying to use and more unixy
i hate legacy windows stuff so fucking much but it’s kinda a miracle how they made it work out with windows 10
Win 7 was peak. Bonus points for giving option to make it look like Win9x by disabling all eye candy options.
Windows had 3 peaks. 95, xp, and 7.
Now I just use Linux. I know not everyone can, but for everything I do or need to do it all works just fine there so I couldn’t be happier.
My favourite Windows is still 2000.
Isn’t that the one you could get to BSOD with a single ping?
Do you mean the ping of death? That was pretty cross-platform and a bit earlier https://insecure.org/sploits/ping-o-death.html

Everyone can, really. It’s not 2002 anymore. Linux has been ready for prime time for some time now. All it lacks is critical mass.

Windows ME is life, only second to Windows Vista.

My memory is 98 was more stable than 95 but I was also quite young at the time so I wouldn’t trust my memory that far back
Don’t forget to combine the powers of windows CE windows ME and windows NT~!
i think first release on win10 was the best, it got worse with updates
