  • I think I know how Microsoft will respond to this. 12 will be worse than 11.

    • Windows has a long history of every second version being shit. 2000->XP, Vista->7, 8->10, 11->Something slightly less shit than 11?

      I think they'll dial back some of the most visible bad parts, while keeping whatever are the most profitable, and a lot of people will go along with it.

      Windows people seriously should just use Linux Mint though.

      • I fear my data getting formated over and stupid commamd line shit in sudo nok bu si fus ra da just to do basic shit like install a program.

      • 95/98/ME was kind of the other way around. 95? Shitty, unstable OS. 95B/SR2? Surprisingly stable, by Win95 standards. 95C/SR2.5? Shitty OS again because of the Internet Explorer integration baked into everything in the fucking shell.

        Same deal with 98 -- the initial release was a crash-prone mess, but 98 SE fixed a lot of that through improved hardware support.

        ...and then there's Windows ME, which was just dogshit all around. Love it when my OS decides to optimize a slow-ass PATA disk and corrupt the kernel while doing so.

        (And Vista was just 7 with really nonsensical branding/segmentation, and released for use on hardware that hadn't caught up yet. Vista Ultimate was legit if you had a beefy enough CPU and tuned a few things in the OS.)
