windows 8.1 with classic shell is decent

No, Windows was never good.

>>59623771
when was it decent?

>>59623771
>Removed the start menu in Windows 8/8.1
>Added a ton of spyware in Windows 10 that is hard to disable.

>>59623851
7 was peak Windows

>>59623805
This. XP seems good because of nostalgia.

>>59624053
Don't forget it was the last version of Windows to have great backwards compatibility.

Win2k was good. Some specialized machinery still uses it and it's rock solid. It was the last good Windows IMO. It was visually consistent and professional looking.

Everything after that was downhill. XP didn't have the stability, and it had that ugly ass default theme. Windows 7 was decent I guess. 8 and 10 are both trash.

>>59623771
I like Windows 10

I have nothing to hide

Everything just works

Pajeets. What else?
Same like Oracle.
Incompetent pajeets hire more incompetent pajeets.

Not being racist or anything. You'll see when you visit their office.

No possible way I fucked up this password. No caps lock, no mis-typing. What can I do?

Bill Gates left Microsoft and stopped caring about what they did with Windows.

I think Vista was the last thing he had any involvement in whatsoever, and with his departure from his self appointed "chief software architect" job in 2006, it's clear Microsoft didnt know what to do with Windows without him and released Vista half baked, which they later refined into 7. (but the underlying shit was still basically Vista, and thus Bill Gates)

8 and 10 represent the first major post-Gates OSes, and it's clear Bill was the only one at MS with any kind of vision.

Pretty much this

Actually, Vista was refined into Service Pack 2, it's just that people didn't care and they were hyping for Windows 7.

>>59624052

The last good OS MS will ever make.

>>59625012
Vista was a horrible mistake, people still make fun of it

>>59625365
It might be a mistake, but it seems to be running fine with SP2.
