Peak Windows was Windows 7. I don't use Windows more than probably a dozen times a year, but when I do I choose Windows 7.

- kylebenzle 3y agoI argue that peak windows was Windows 98 and that is still generally how I configure whatever desktop environment I'm using. 98 had all the lessons learned from 3.x and 95 with none of the BS that came with 2000 and Vista. I think that Vista will historically be called the "Death of Windows" at which point all real men abandoned ship for Linux.
- jdougan 3y agoWindows 98 SE was the peak of the Win16/32 kernel versions.
- danaris 3y agoI'm very curious why you don't mention XP in all that—it didn't have "the BS that came with 2000 and Vista", and was generally both much more robust and much more broadly compatible than Win98. (I have no particular dog in this fight, being a Mac user since the Mac Plus era—I'm just genuinely curious.)
