Seriously, the speed in which windows is getting worse since after win 7 is almost comical.
Win 7 was peak. Bonus points for giving option to make it look like Win9x by disabling all eye candy options.
Windows had 3 peaks. 95, xp, and 7.
Now I just use Linux. I know not everyone can, but for everything I do or need to do it all works just fine there so I couldn't be happier.
My favourite Windows is still 2000.
Isn't that the one you could get to BSOD with a single ping?
Do you mean the ping of death? That was pretty cross-platform and a bit earlier https://insecure.org/sploits/ping-o-death.html
No, the last version of my that was vulnerable was 3.5.1 2000 was better than xp for a year after XP came out. You couldn't even boot XP on a driver bigger than 128GB where 2000 had that bug already patched.
