Tough question really, only got experience with XP and up, I'd say I'm tied with XP or 7, 8/8.1 I didn't mind though, 10 I hate, Vista I don't remember that much and I've never used 98 or 2000 so can't comment on them.

Tough question really, only got experience with XP and up, I'd say I'm tied with XP or 7, 8/8.1 I didn't mind though, 10 I hate, Vista I don't remember that much and I've never used 98 or 2000 so can't comment on them.
Hey man actually have good experiences With vista yes RTM sucked but SP2 was awesome and fixed all performance aswell as driver compatibility errors. Sadly Vista became hard to set up because most of the Servers for Windows Update and Windows live have been shut down so its more difficult to get the required software.
But XP is a great os too and will be never forgotten.
Windows 7 or Windows XP, and I'm not sure which (won't vote unless/until I can decide fairly which of the two it is).
I liked Windows 95, Windows 98/98SE, and Windows 2000. I didn't mind Windows ME but I had very limited experience with it so it probably doesn't count for much. I avoided Windows Vista (limited experience also, however), and dislike Windows 8 and Windows 10 (again, ditto). I'll begrudgingly deal with Windows 10 as a new forced user but I'm moving all of my non-main PCs off of Windows 7 soon and to Linux since they don't need to do games or use programs that I use that rely on Windows. I've been very disappointed with the way Windows has gone starting with 8.

Windows 98SE was a great OS at its time but its fatalshortcoming was its bugs and the fact that it had problems with PC's with more than 1gb of RAM.
Although it is too outdated now, at the time Windows XP was still supported Microsoft could have patched Windows 98SE to work kindly with PC's that had better hardware, something like a service pack update would've been nice because it still has its use as far as retro gaming goes. It certainly made MSDOS gaming convenient.
Edit: My favourite OS is Windows 10, it used to be 7, 98SE and XP
but thanks to services like GOG and the emulator DOSbox, I no longer have a use for such outdated OS's like 98
Unless there is a DOS emulator that will let me safely dual boot it with Windows 10,
I don't think I need Windows 98 anymore. There are a few games Windows 10 can't run but that is not enough to justify installing an old OS on modern hardware where driver support is non existent for it.
Hi,
just wanted to see what people think is a good os.
Hope you dont mind a small social experiment

Curse PremiumWindows 10. Aside from the annoyance of forced updates, everything else it does, it does well.

So i just decided to stick to 7.
I have worked with Windows XP and 7, 10. I think they are good. I have not worked with other windows.
