Pic-related is best windows OS

pic-related is best windows OS

No, ReactOS is.

it's ugly

chinese botnet with outdated security and no compatibility for anything worthwhile

last time microsoft made a good os was in october 2009

>open source
>botnet
Prove it

The Holy Grail of OSes.

It always is. Sup Forums + normies always shit on the new version of Windows after release, then they call it the best one after the new one is released.

no, xp and 7 are the best windows versions
8, 8.1 and 10 are all shit

I disagree. The best one is pic-related.

If you actually read the source you would see it

XP > 7 > 10 > 8.1 > 8 > NT > Vista > Me

>I have no proof
Okay.

>10 that high on the list
It's garbage. Any software that heavily relies on telemetry, especially if it's paid software, is shit and has bad developers. Microsoft has become a terrible company over a decade ago. They should just stop trying and sell windows to someone more competent.

>Any software that heavily relies on telemetry
That's like every software released in the last 5 years. Your browser sent more telemetry data today than Windows 10 last month.

There, fix'd it:

XP > 7 >>>>>>>>> 10 > 8.1 > 8 > NT > Vista > Me

It has all the problems of windows 8 and 8.1, but with a decent interface.
NT is just too old.
Vista and ME are garbage.

8.1 is legit good but people will always look at the start menu and run away.

2000 is Windows at its best. No fisher price UI, stable NT foundation. Got everything important that XP had. MS should ditch everything they're currently working on and go back to maintaining 2000. 95 and Me are decent too, but MSDOS is starting to show its age, so it is better to stay with NT.

How come you guys often say mean things about Me? I've used when it was new, and used it again on several old computers in recent years. Never really had an issue with it. It works well. Lacks the preconfigured shortcut for MSDOS-mode, but you can add your own with config.sys and autoexec.bat. Has nice modern features like support for USB storage devices.

Exactly the point. I don't mind crash reporting, but everything else is just lazy and you're being a beta tester for free. People in serious companies get paid to test software.

I honestly liked the aero theme.

>go back to maintaining 2000
Yeah, maintaining 32-bit OS is a great way to burn money. "But they could just rewrite it to support 64-bit!!!!1!", yeah, they might as well start from scratch.

7 > 8

Did they rewrite 2003 and XP for AMD Opteron processors? Was Linux and FreeBSD rewritten for AMD Opteron processors? There will be bugs ofc, but porting to another platform doesn't seem like something that is impossible for MS to do. They already have ports of earlier versions of windows to platforms that have nothing in common with amd64 or x86.

Tablet OS

Windows 8 UI was a mistake. The emphasis on a touchscreen-friendly environment made it just to awkward to use in a desktop with a mouse.
Even worse, different programs ran in different environments (metro or desktop), so it looked very inconsistent and unfinished.

>Did they rewrite 2003 and XP for AMD Opteron processors?
No they didn't. They weren't 17 years old back then either. And XP 64-bit was a dumpster fire.

It's Windows 7 with a different start menu and some improvements.

You even need third party software to set separate wallpapers for multimonitor setups. 7 is inferior.

Windows keeps on becoming worse at each version, because it insists on protecting the user of doing things that may harm the system or go against how it was supposed to work by MS standards.
Ok, I get it. People can be very stupid and crash the system if they don't know what they are doing. But it's a pain in the ass if you understand about computers and want to tweak with your system, with pop-up windows getting in the way everytime and system configurations being more and more inaccessible to the user. Not to mention how updates work by default.

It isn't just the way it looks. They behave very different too. Like when you have a dropdown menu, and you start typing the first few letters of what you're looking for. The old style menus works much better since typing in the first few letters brings you to the first item that matches. The new-style menus often does nothing at all when you type, so you have to scroll and look yourself.

The only amd64-processors that Windows 10 doesn't support are the very first few generations of Athlon 64 and Opteron processors. Porting 2000 to a slightly newer platform like the 64-bit Pentium 4, D, or Core 2 doesn't seem like much of an issue when they already did that with 2003 and XP.

Settling for Windows 8.1 when Windows 7 and Windows 10 exists is stupid. Why take some retarded middle ground? Windows 8.1 is just as much botnet as Windows 10. If you don't care about botnet, 10 is superior. What's the deal?

>chinese

windows 8 with classic shell was perfect user i literally used it from release until a couple months ago

>HURR WINDOWS 10 IS A BOTNET!!!1!

Why are /gtards such problematic pessimists? Why do you have to look at things through the black glasses all the time?
You have to think positive and look at this from the positive side.
Don't be such a Debbie Downer, don't call it a botnet.
Call it a community.
See? You already feel better, don't you?

Asociality dude. I want my operatingsystem to shut the fuck up and only connect to - and get the information I want from the servers I tell it to use. Nothing more. Besides this, everything is fine.

>call it a community

At least 95% of /g[eeks] actually dream to work for the CIA or FBI, even if they say they don't. So, if you're participating in a CIA botnet you can rightfully call yourself a part of the intelligence community. You contribute to the national security and Making America Safe Again. And anyone who isn't willing to use Windows 10 should be on the terrorist watch list.

Fuck off you goddamn piece of shit CIA nigger

this, but 10 goes between NT and Vista. It's basically a more bloated 8.1 with additional telemetry and ad integration.

>And XP 64-bit was a dumpster fire.
XP x64 is the next-best version after 2K, you idiot.

No, 8.1 is.
