Weekend Question: Do you have a favorite version of Windows?

[Reola]

XP - my best memory, fewest reinstalls (total opposite of W98 in this case, so much so that I remember the serial number. It was on my hardware for the longest time (more than 10 years in total) and I have a great deal of fondness for it, in fact I still use it on one piece of hardware to this day.

Yes, it seems like XP was without updates for the longest time then, in the sense that the new release came out after a long time. Well, by the way, 7 was also quite good, I remember how everyone didn’t want to switch to 10 later, because it updated itself. There was always a fear that the update would only make things worse. Even I felt like an old man because I could dig up such old operating systems with my own eyes. I wonder if there is anyone else who remembers what happened before 98?

For me, Windows 11 is best, fast, convenient, there is an alternative search, new functions. Another thing I love about it is the regular updates that keep it trending.
It's really interesting to know what Windows 12 will be like.

Win 12 might be even more restrictive than 11 is. Not only will it enforce Secure Boot but also might need Pluton on the Motherboard to even work

Microsoft Pluton security processor - Windows Security

its currently only on the newest PC.

If it does, I will be using Win 11 until I get a new PC.

Windows Vista. It's like black licorice - pretty good, plus nobody else ever wants to touch it. "Hey Zloth, could I use your PC to...OMG! Is that... OMG IT IS!! Keep it away!!"
