If she’s unrepentant, she’d get Windows Me
8 was at least an attempt to try to make things better for home users and get away from win32 cruff.
Like or hate the exact approach they took, you have to admire the spirit.
10 and 11 has been Microsoft saying “fuck em. They won’t ever be happy steal everything you can while they’re still here.”
I don’t think Windows will ever fully escape Win32 cruft. One of the major features of Windows is backwards compatibility.
NOOOO, WHAT’S THE SAFE WORD?!
Could have been Gentoo.
Could be worse; could be Vista, 7, 10, 11,
At least 8/8.1 had a good UI
Windows ME.
ME was a king compared to anything microshit makes these days
ME was an eldritch abomination of cobbled together dos and nt architecture that should have never been.
Vista really really sucked by Microsoft’ standards
If they did the 11 thing where old hardware can’t use it then it wouldn’t be any worse than 7
Metro UI? 🤮
What about Windows ME?
Too dangerous. No safe word can save you from windows ME.
The safe word is <This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down>
You’ll blue screen and you’ll like it!
BSOD
I read it in Ayoade’s voice lol
Classic Moss!
This post is so old that the first time I saw it Windows 8.1 was still rolling out
Windows 8 was pretty bad, but you could at least still use desktop mode just fine with a quick settings fix.
Fucking windows 11 took top, left, and right taskbar from us and then locked all the threads asking for it back, and prevented the registry hack to at least get top taskbar back.
Windows 8 was fine
I’m holding out on my work laptop until they force me to “upgrade”
Completely forgot that OS existed
But not old enough for this to be about Windows ME.
windows me! my first computer that was “mine”
had to reinstall so many times lol
Anyone got a boot floppy around? Actually my first would have been a hand me down 80286 system with some version of DOS on it
PINEAPPLE PINEAPPLE PINEAPPLE PINEAPPLE
Not even the worst Windows
I thought 8 was ok… 8.1 was the best 8, which changed a few of the annoying things and made it fine. I agree with the other person here, this should be Vista.
Only for subs, constantly asking for permission.
I fucking loved windows 8, if I could I would still have the all screen start menu bastard.
