The purpose of this thread is to rank each version of Microsoft Windows from your most favorite to least favorite version.

7>Vista>8 and 8.1>98FE and SE>2000>NT 4.0>95>3.1X>1.0>2.0>XP>Me

Windows 98 was my first OS that I ever used and I used it since 2003 all the way up to 2008 when I switched to Windows XP during mid 2008 and later to Windows Vista probably somewhere around late 2008 and early 2009. I was a toddler when I first used it. I used to play some games like Road Rash and Network Q RAC Rally Championship on my first few PCs.

I liked 2000 when I was in Grade 1 and 2 where I first used it at school. It was alright.

The poop of the group (to me) is Windows Me (Millennium Edition). Windows Me was just Windows 98 dressed in Windows 2000's clothes featuring Windows Movie Maker and System Restore which weren't in 2000. All what people got was Windows 98 rebarfed again for a third time but this time having Real DOS mode taken out and that makes it worse because a lot of DOS games wouldn't run and that sucked. They might as well should have called it Windows 98 Third Edition because that's exactly what it was. Sure it introduced those features very well and was targeted for home users but the only problem is that it was sometimes buggy and had some crashes. Half of them bought the superior Windows 2000 or still stuck with Windows 98. I personally never used it when I was younger back in the day but I used it in a virtual machine and on a physical machine recently 4 months back on a AOPEN Pentium 4 Windows XP machine from a mosque which I was trying to fix up. A majority of the drivers ran on Windows Me except for the ethernet driver which was a pain in the ass to get working. It was troublesome I tell ya folks. There is basically NO REASON for me to use Windows Millennium Edition at all when I could be using the vastly far superior Windows 98SE or Windows 2000.
 
XP>98-2000>7>>>>>>>>>>>>8
 
Whatever Windows Millennium Edition has, it probably doesn't has the crappy Windows 8 interface.
 
i don't see a problem with 8, besides being kinda weird having to press Home instead of Start to get to a certain program.
 
7
8 (i've heard they finally patched it to let you use the regular start menu)
XP
Vista
98

those are the only versions i've used
 
Out of the ones I've used for extended periods of time:

7 >>> Vista > XP > 2000

Also the only people who hate on 8 are people who don't like change and want to keep an outdated device such as the start menu.

yaaaaayy hasty generalizations congratulations on making them you should get an award
 
Windows 95 is where Windows was reaching it's perfection. Windows 3.1 was getting a bit too uncomfortable. I had a laptop which ran Windows 95 which I got at a garage sale when I was in Grade 2. I somehow broke it. That was my first encounter with Windows 95. It felt okay, but I liked 98 at the time. The other PCs at the time ran Windows 98. I remember going on the internet on Windows 98 and being on YouTube before I switched to XP. Windows 8 is where Windows became broken and flawed. It will be fixed with Threshold when the preview comes out anytime soon.

It's not a great change. You get this really tacky interface rather than the cleaner start menu.
