Of course Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit is the best Windows ever. Windows 8 simply sucks and im no big fan of any touch devices and touch features. After I used Windows XP for several years it was the best but since 7 came and within time it improved in stability performance and features which makes it the best OS ever for me

I still love your cat. It makes me smile every time I see it if I don't actually crack up.

Windows 95, such an improvement over 3.1
Windows Vista, never had a problem with it.
Windows 7, definitely the best so far.

My favorite version of Windows is Windows 2000. I think it was the version of the greatest quality and the best interface. The worst Windows version in all respects is Windows 7.

I know of no interface-affecting bugs in Windows 2000 even though I used it for years. After that Windows started to degrade and lose in quality. I know some 10+ bugs and glitches in XP, some very annoying. I never tried Vista but they actually handicapped the Windows Explorer in this version. In Windows 7 they continued the destruction. I think Windows 7 was definitely the worst Windows version ever both in terms of quality and inteface. I know many tens of bugs in Win 7 which all pop up just after you start using the system. It ended its life on my PC after it failed to boot after a regular update.

Windows 8 is marginally better than Windows 7 with all the tweaking and if not to count the "Modern/Metro" apps and interface. I haven't looked at Win10 yet, but I think it may be even worse than Win7.

In terms of change compared to the prevuous version, Windows 95 was definitely genial and brought the most features ever. My first Windows version was Windows 3.1.

Win 95 - epic improvement
Win 98 - minor improvements but also some unpleasant changes
Win 2000 - huge improvement
Win XP - some degradation, minor improvements
Win Vista - major degradation, the only improvement is better icon theme
Win 7 - further very serious degradation in all respects, close to catastrophe
Win 8 - small improvements, better quality than Win 7, but handicapped with "Metro"

Without a doubt, my favorite is Windows 10 Pro.

Seems like a perfectly good version of windows to me (and I don't even drink).

xp

Loved it more than all but its 64bit sucked, so i dual it with 7 (second favorite) after those 98 SE

 

[livingsandwich]

XP, 7 & 8.

Good Times.

 

[peteralcott]

windows 7 is the best.

 

[unrealRage]

Even though I started with Windows 98 (and I really liked it back in the time),my favorite version of Windows is Windows XP.
I've been using XP for quite a long time (7 years) until I upgraded to Windows 7.All those beautiful memories!

I would still use it today if support for it hasn't ended.

I owned all versions of Windows over the years, but Windows 7 has always been my favorite. Hopefully, the new Windows 10 will not disappoint.

 

[Joan Archer]

I'll say all of the ones I've had, 98, WinME, XP, Vista, 7, 8.1.1, and now 10. I wouldn't say I had an all time favourite they've all had their good points and I've enjoyed using them, as long as things work and I can do what I need to do on the computer the underlying OS is not so important.

 

[Uniqueness]

Windows 7. XP is a runner up though.

Although I like the new Windows 10, Windows 7 is still my favorite and it worked right from the "starters line" as I bought Win 7 Ultimate the day it went on sale, As Bill (A Guy) mentioned Win 7 was easy to theme also.

Another bonus of Windows 7 is there is no M$ account required so I have uninterrupted access to any function of the core OS without being forced to switch from a local account.

I plan to keep using Windows 7 until EOL as I am currently dual-booting Windows 7 Pro & Windows 10 on 2 different computers with separate drives for each.
