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)

  Lol ok

  Make it vista and we're golden

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

      95 and 98 were horrible. Hearing the error chime still gives me physical reactions.
    - _Algernon_ 5y ago
      Wrong verb tense there. The low point is windows 11.
  - fomine3 5y ago
    Agree. UAC is pretty basic feature.

    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.
    - ComradePhil 5y ago
      What you say about networking is not true. Networking works seamlessly between native windows applications and linux applications running on WSL.

  > 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...

I remember back in the day, I preferred SP2. It seemed to run notably faster on slower hardware and there were very few instances of software (I don't even remember any) that required a later one to run on 2k. Just think about that. There was a time where you'd not use an older version of an OS, but an older patch level of an OS and it didn't feel particularly wrong.

Granted, from now on all your electronic devices will run Windows 2000 IA-64.

  >all your electronic devices Cool. Having the only Itanium powered oven/fridge/washer gives him insane nerd street cred.
  - jcranmer 5y ago
    I can understand the oven, but surely being "Itanium-powered" would be counterproductive for a fridge?
    - giantrobot 5y ago
      Your fridge yes, your oven no.

Are you sure you don't just want vms instead?
- retrocryptid 5y ago
  i miss VMS. it's sort of like WinNT but with all the stuff that doesn't work stripped out.
