Windows increments from 95 to Win 7 seemed to improve things (not everything, amazing stasis in some places). I like that the UI was more consistent, more attention to things like Fitt's law, fewer secret gestures and better keyboard/mouse parity on the OS/GUI aspects than Mac. Since 7, seems downhill.
So to answer your question: "Since Win 7 came out".
- etempleton 4y agoI don’t even know if they cared then. 7 only existed because Vista was an unusable nightmare for the first year and they had to do some damage control. They then followed 7 up with 8, an operating system where all early impressions and user testing indicated users would be bewildered and confused and they still pressed forward with it. You could argue 3.11, 95,98,2000 releases were good, but beyond that Windows has been up and down with their releases.
- quantified 4y agoFor debate class, I could argue those releases were good, and 2000 improved on NT4/95, but I can't argue from belief.
- etempleton 4y agoNeither can I, but they were solid enough. A lot of people like to talk about how good XP was, but that is rose colored glasses and ignoring where OSX was at the same time, which, while not without issues, was a much more modern operating system. Never mind the security issues of XP pre SP2. Antivirus software became commercial products because XP was so insecure.
