Great idea.

I think my favourite was Windows 2000 but I really did like Windows 95. I was interested of course in windows 3.1 but this was about the time IBM were tinkering around with their "competing" prooduct OS/2 which I preferred - both from a users point of view and technically it was a superior product.

So my vote (Just) goes to Windows 2000.

(Both W95 and W2K run fine as VM's on W7 BTW) . :D

Don't you remember...

Microsoft Bob was a Microsoft software product, released in March 1995, which provided a new, nontechnical interface to desktop computing operations. Despite its ambitious nature, Bob was one of Microsoft's more visible product failures. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer named Bob as "one project we had undertaken ... where we decided that we have not succeeded and let's stop"

I googled it. It looked like a good idea. I should let my grandpa know about it. He turned on the computer for the first time yesterday

VISTA !!!

I had no problems what-so-ever adjusting to it... and besides, I like the extra security (UAC)... it's saved me quite a few times.

I do my everyday browsing (work) in a "standard user" account and use my "administrtor" account for only installing and un-installing and I like the idea of having to use a password to effect any changes to my system.

The strange thing is when the various OS's have been released over the years I've seen improvements, over the previous, in every case except for XP :huh:

XP is Microsoft's longest available OS and after the first few years developed into a good OS - but at the start of it's life did not impress me over Win 2000 or NT4.

Windows NT for me, still have it on an old IBM thinkpad, it just worked no fancy desktop eye candy, just functionality.
I still enjoy my 8 year old Emachine with ME on it!!

Vista Is number one at the moment , Once i get RTM 7 it will be my main OS and therefor my favourite .

I will still dual boot with Vista as my "back up" OS , XP was cool in its day but to be honest id never go back to it.

I agree...and my favorite has been 7 since I booted the Milestone 3(? aww...the memories, the build with the Superbar) and vista second. Sorry XP fans but I absolutely hate that OS...I never had fun using it, I always sought alternatives (such as a long period of time that I used Ubuntu) and it never worked "as-good" as people swore it did (try using XP like a normal computer out of the box...it never comes with any drivers preloaded or what not). No matter what people said Vista all around was a better OS than XP but it wasn't implemented as well as it could have...that is why we have 7:D

PS I didn't mean to rant about XP to you folks who still like it...I just thought I would put my two cents into this.

My second favorite version of Windows is XP, with Windows 2000 trailing not too far behind.

In the most hated category, the honor goes to Windows ME and Windows 98 (First Edition).
