My favourite version of Windows was Windows 2000. It was stable, visually consistent and fairly simple. But Windows 11 is a massive improvement over Windows 2000 in many, many areas. Just because Windows 2000 was my favourite doesn’t mean I think it’s the best. It doesn’t even have built-in support for WiFi. I think they’re even moving towards something that could be my new favourite Windows. Windows 11 is the first Windows with a visual style that I actually find appealing, and they seem to be making some serious efforts to make it all visually consistent too. The new settings app has its flaws but if they just finish the work of supporting all the features of the old control centre and finally have a unified place to change settings, I would say it’ll be all-in-all better than Win2k. The GPU driver system and WSL2 are leaps and bounds beyond what Win2k could do. The built in support for virtual desktops and window arrangement is something I would never want to be without. Yeah, on the Mac side I remember Snow Leopard fondly. That doesn’t mean I think it’s the best. On Mac I see even less reason to think older versions of MacOS is better in any way. They’ve stayed visually pleasing and consistent, haven’t made any huge UI changes similar to Windows’s attempts at making a better start menu, and have added many genuinely useful features over the years.
