Make it win 7 and I'd agree.

(Actually I don't care anymore. Modern linux beats any version of windows in all my use cases)

Are you aware that hackers have been leaking the source code of Linux for years?


You can find so many modded versions though...

It's the other way around for me. Windows Subsystem for Linux ftw.

I have used Linux as the primary Desktop OS for most of my life but I hope I will never have to go back ever again.


i use mDNS too frequently to find WSL useful. and was kind of surprised to find MS EDGE woukldn't connect to a node service run unf i WSL. but.... if you don't need networking, it's pretty decent. you can even get an x server and run XTerm and get VT320 emulation.


What you say about networking is not true. Networking works seamlessly between native windows applications and linux applications running on WSL.


Make it vista and we're golden


Not sure if Vista was the low point or Windows ME. Probably Vista.


Wrong verb tense there. The low point is windows 11.


95 and 98 were horrible. Hearing the error chime still gives me physical reactions.


Agree. UAC is pretty basic feature.


Lol ok
