- s0rce 5y agoI think Windows 2000 was a big improvement over 95/98. XP was decent. 7/8 was ok and seems to be going in random directions now.
- mulmen 5y agoVista and 8 were unmitigated disasters. ME was apparently "misunderstood"? So it's more of a cycle than a trend.
- rekoil 5y agoYou gotta fuck shit up every now and again to take the easy victories when you unfuck what you previously fucked.
- userbinator 5y agoI think the parent was mainly talking about the UI. Almost all of the classic Windows UI was there in '95, and minor improvements were released with each new version up until ~Vista-7 when they started destroying it.

- Ostrogodsky 5y agoNah, at least for me the best improvements have been: 98>95>XP,all the rest have been minimal or total disasters.
- VladimirGolovin 5y agoWindow snap is absolutely an improvement.
- imbnwa 5y agoWindows 7 was the pinnacle of Windows’ UI
- rekoil 5y agoThe app upgrades were solid, but I missed the classic Windows 2000 look which you couldn't quite get with 7 without modifying system files.
