Ah so that is how you make tables here.

Right, I wanted something that shows a far more complete picture. Once you have it all together, it is so much easier to visualize how far away something like XP is from today's releases.
Still love XP.

Only 500 some odd days until Win 7 is out of support.

Yeah yeah. . . I obviously don't use markdown often.

Which is not very long at all, in migration to something else terms. Time to get moving on that stuff.

My favorite Windows out of all of them was 2000. All the good stuff from NT4, without the boot drive limitation, which actually did bite a colleague once.

The classic destop theme was my favorite when using XP, Vista and 7.

That was my least favourite. NT4 was the best I ever worked with, XP was like 2000 but fixed. 2000 was all the legacy of NT4, but without being updated or modern.

I prefer the start menu in windows 7 as well, the start menu in windows 10 is just horrid. Just things in windows 10 seems like a longer process, like changing network adaptor settings... more clicks involved...

What I think you meant was "more idiotfied".
Idiotfied: to be made more intuitive for users who generally should not be involved in something.

@dustinb3403 They should of branched off another version called "Windows Idiotfied Edition" and left it how it was for businesses and people that actually use their machine for practical work.

@Romo and I were just talking about how it is IMPOSSIBLE to figure out if an app is installed. You type in its name, it doesn't come up. There is zero reliable way to deterministically get the same app list from the same actions time after time.

I don't think it is. It's more "confusified" to make it less useful.

That's the branch they have now.

We discuss that on here like a year ago or so and I disagreed with you then and I still disagree with you just because you can’t do something right are you set some setting that nobody else has a problem with doesn’t mean the entire system is wrong

I think the defaults on a Windows 10 install suck, but that's been a well-known thing since release. If someone doesn't have a script to clean the **** out yet, it's really their own fault anymore. Should be part of the price of using the platform.
