Vista + Win ME are the worst Windows product ever. Bluek!

Muy buen blog de diseño! great blog! thanks from Argentina.

@xun :
I’m totally Agree with you !!

Haha, that in return I’d say 98 and XP were the most stable :-)

Out of these, Windows 98 and Windows XP are the best, they were superhit in the market, and till now(excluding Seven) are the best versions of Windows, I really like Windows XP very much.

Where’s Windows BOB? This listing rocks!!! Thanks for sharing!

OMG I loved Windows 3.1 I still have my original disks!

haha, great post! I’ve never seen before the 1.01’s frontend, but it’s sooo beautiful! :)

btw, about 2 years ago I had the 98 installed on my computer too (beside the XP), because the GTA2 won’t work on XP at all :) so I’ve got some fresh memories about it :)

yes they are, bit windows 7 is my favourite.

@xun: There’s nothing wrong with Windows Vista.. Your PC are..

This list has every major release of windows including the not yet release of Windows 7, but why is it missing Windows Server 2008?

Where’s Server 2008?

After the release of SP1, I found Windows Vista to be okay; honestly, Windows ME wasn’t very friendly.

Also, there’s no mention of Server 2008?

Where’s Windows Server 2008? Windows 98 Second Edition? Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions?

I am agree with the win 98 and xp FTW, there is no better OS than XP for gaming, and i prefer any Linux distribution over win Vista, that is why i turned once and for all from win XP to win 7.
btw @JonC I play GT2 on windows XP.

great post! i still like the fact that minesweeper still hasn’t really changed since windows 3.11. also…what’s up with thunderbird being on the screenshot for 3.51. talk about backporting. lol

I skip from window 98 to XP. Now I gonna skip Vista and jump to Window 7 =)

nice post dude
i love windows

Mac rules !!

Nice and informative post , thanks for sharing

Great Work! I’m expecting a Linux Evolution similarly.

Very nice to see their improvements over time. :) Thanks for this post.

MAC Rules

I dont know, I really missed win98. my first experience on computer.hahah

Great article! I like Vista the best.

Great Post man…

Its really nice…

Great screenshots. So funny looking back at the older versions and thinking they were so high-tech at the time.

For some reasons, I love Window 98 the most.

Does anyone who is using Win 7 thinks that switching to Win 7 is the right choice? I am thinking to switch but I am happy with my XP now.

I’ve tried the RC version and so far so good, I recommend to switch your XP to Windows 7 since it’s more secure than XP.

I still amazed on the evolution speed of the technology we have here, hope Microsoft can do better in their new OS

I used 98, 2000, xp, vista and now 7. 7 is more complicated, solving my driver problems and really great. Vista is da worst for gaming. XP sp2 is fast.

Vista is excellent (in my opinion you’re computer sucks… upgrade!). I love windows 7, i’ve been using it for a while now on my work computer. Love it!

I remember 3.1 when i was a kid! lol
love xp though…. and 7 is by far what vista should have been.

still, 7 doesn’t beat mac os x

Really MS. Start acknowledging Bob. It was a mistake, but at the time an interesting experiment in interface design which was an alternate to Win3. Stop trying to pretend that it didn’t happen! Cripes you have ME listed.

Ok. One thing bugs me. The Windows Vista boot screen is not correct. The real one is much more boring.

Windows 7 rules!

Hey! What about BOB? XD

The screen is correct. You get different look probably because you have turned off the “Welcome Centre”.

I don’t know, I find Windows Vista much more secure and full of options that we don’t have on XP. It’s much more stable too, programs never crash on me like they used to on XP.

The Vista Boot screen does not have the logo on it. Out of the hundreds I have seen, none of them boot saying Windows Vista. It is just that boring loading bar.

Good list though.

I used windows 95, 98, 2000, 2000 server, ME, Xp, 2003, Vista and using 7. I’d like to try Mac OS on My PC, I tried to install ideneb but it said no boot file though the installation was complete!

WOW! To think I was working as a technician for Randy and John (Fry’s), as an IBM/HP PC repair and upgrade technician, when it all started. Lets go a little further back to DOS days and floppy disks.

cool compilation of Windows OS Hongkiat! Great job!
btw, i think there is soemthin wrong with ur theme.. all become blank liao :P

Great !! I am the using windows from windows 95 to windows 7.

I still remember the computer game that i played on the green screen of a 386 dos. Those were the days. :)

Oh wow! This is amazing.

and it gives me an idea….

Thanks for sharing the visual history. :)

Wow..Nice..

Where is Longhorn..??

Thanks for sharing

This gives me memories. Though I am very young and haven’t had experience with those versions before windows 98, it is really a journey for microsoft and its users eh? I still have vivid memories of myself (a little kid) using the windows 98 a few years back.

+1

Heh, I still use 8 years old XP. :D

I loved and preferred Windows 2000 out of them all.
I am sorry I had to change to XP since new pieces of hardware (like ATI video cards) do not support it (no drivers…).

In my opinion, it was more stable than XP.

And Windows 7 (RC, of course) still has its week points, too – like managing e.g. Quick Launch bar and user rights.

Where is Server 2008??? I miss Core version..

Hi
on the C=64 the MS created a software, called Microsoft GEOS. It was two pieces double-sided floppy, and contain a word processor, a calculator, a print and a file manager (if i remember correctly). to the end of 3.11 if you minimalize the program manager, the icon was a red-blue C=64 logo…

Windows Vista , Time to start , it isn’t same inthe picture now

oh gosh… hard to beoieve that its been over 20 years for the gui…. I still remember working with DOS… ugh…. I really liked Win 98 and XP … I am using Win 7 now and I can’t wait for the final release. Plug n play really helped put. The DOS games were awsume….lol

It’s amazing just how far it’s come in what is a relatively short period of time.

Have you thought about doing an evolution of OSX?

Though it would have made this post longer, betas and RCs should have been listed !!! nice post none the less

You’re missing two very important versions, Windows Server 2008 (Vista codebase) and Windows Server 2008 R2 (Windows 7 codebase). Additionally the boot screen from Vista is wrong and the Windows 7 screenshots are from the beta, not the RTM. Otherwise a great read!

Windows Vista is too slow. Mac is better.

agree! I really hate Wind Vista… Win Me? Ever tried once in my life and it was only for a week. =]

MAC OS ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
n_________________n

hey.. thanks a lot for this nice article.. :) Indeed win 7 is the BEST till yet but I feel MS will do even better than W7 though it might not happen near future.

Well Win Me and Win Vista are both failed compare to 98 n XP. But unlike Win Me, Vista SP2 got better chance of survival.

I also experienced Vista SP2 to be more Stable and fast when you will run more and more High End Apps( e.g. 5 Adobe CS4 Apps at a time + Multiple Browsers running + Music + Download + Video) compare to Win XP

Hi

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remember starting out using Windows 3.0 and then WFW 3.11. The hype around the Win95 and the interface especially was amazing at the time. I find it curious how the gui has essentially remained with the same format since then. Makes me wonder if any future versions will have a similar impact!

Wow this is a good listing however as mentioned, Windows Server 2k8 isn’t included. And I agree that the real deals from Microsoft are the Win98 and XP. They are really stable and fast.

I still remember Win98 clearly.. Ah those days when I screwed up the whole computer till could not boot up coz I messed with the BIOS too when I was 10 years old..

YES, I recommend you to try Win 7 however, I strongly suggest you to do an online check whether your computer is compatible with Win 7. Most of the people just upgrade to Win 7 to find out most of their drivers are not compat or do not meet the min requirement.

Win 7 is fast and not bloated like Vista that really worths everyone’s trial :)

Win 3.1 still holds a place in my heart!
Call it nostalgia, call me stupid, but it was my first MS love…

Hmm… looking back perhaps it was my last MS love.
It should have been. (;

Memories…..
I’ve been using computers since 1978. This was a nice trip down memory lane.
Thanks

Dans n’importe quelle version, Windows a été, est et restera une grosse merde! Une arnaque monumentale doublée d’une impressionnante série d’atteinte aux libertés individuelles: Espionnage de nos ordinateurs, virus en tous genres fabriqués volontairement pour pouvoir ensuite nous vendre des anti-virus hors de prix, violations multiples des lois sur la concurrence, etc, etc…
Je suis depuis peu passé à LINUX, et je peux vous dire que mon PC a retrouvé une nouvelle jeunesse. De plus, le monde du libre possède déjà une très vaste logithèque qui fait qu’il n’y a plus de raisons de rester esclave de Big Brother!

After wiping the harddrive clean for the 50th time (give OR take), finally in December of 2002 with the aide of Apple’s transformative new operating system Jaguar OS X (10.1), AND some clever advertising I jumped in with both feet. I have had several Mac’s since my first white I-Book they have ALL been perfect machines I leave my personal MacBookPro turned on all the time, the operating system is Granite-like in stability, the code is beautifully written to suit these machines they have power to spare. I will never go back1

In Love

I really like Windows XP, my favorite OS of all time.. I haven’t tried Windows 7, because currently I am using Vista.

wow.. the first windows version i saw is the Windows NT for Workgroups. That was the OS of my first laptop back then. :)

Oh I liked that..very vawncast like ..microsoft has a lot to be proud of if you ask me.

Nice!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!

lost sever 2008.

what a nice post!

My favorite was XP. I’m currently on Vista and have been for about 3 years. Personally I have had no problems with Vista, but have heard enough headaches from others to know its not so great. Looking forward to trying out Windows Seven.

Yep, pretty much. damn i miss 98, great os

@Shawn: What do you think of Windows Vista? (Since you have used it for 3 years)

I use XP then move to OSX.. :D

check ur windows NT 3.5 image
was then Mozilla Thunderbird there, then back?
and how come a modern Google logo there?
it’s fake screen shot

this is a useless post.. coping/paste from other website… without checking authenticity and completeness. sucks.
