Windows is inferior to MacOS? Bold claim given Enterprise exclusively uses Windows. Your opinion might tarnish your reputation

  Enterprise is also the inspiration behind Dilbert. I agree that Windows is nowhere as bad as it was in the 90s and early 2000s and OS X isn't as good as it was in 2014, but software development on Windows is still slightly painful.

    Windows 2000 was actually pretty nice, it was my favorite Windows. It was an already quite refined member of the NT series and also the last no-nonsense NT. XP felt garish and annoying, even though the actual technology improved overall, especially with the service packs.

      Windows 2000 SP3 was felt really nice compared to constant crashing with 95/98 and XP's ugly UI and again increased crashes. But if you try 2000 now, it's clumsy and it was only SP3 that was finally stable. XP could be easily improved by just switching to classic UI style and any wallpaper other than the default teletubbyland. Still I think 7 was the first Windows that didn't need reboot at least once per day and would't give blue screens.
