Image shows a tweet with the header “and people STILL try to convince me Linux and Windows are better when the DATA clearly shows otherwise. SMH” with an image attached showing the following:
“Operating systems by current version” Mac OS: 14 Windows: 11 Linux: 6
and to think windows had 2000 years ago…
Well, when you get from 3 to 2000 in only a few years, the vast majority of these versions will be unusable. No wonder they had to drop everything after 11…
This is why I avoid the numbered Windows releases. XP, Vista, ME, or NT for this guy. Accept no substitutes.
Windows CE sitting in the corner
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but NT was usually called NT 4.0 by those of us who worked with it. You’re probably better off skipping it anyways, it was terrible for anything other than file server…ing.
Some of us used Windows NT 3.1, celebrated when 3.5 came out and actually worked, and when 4.0 came out we cringed because Windows NT 3.51 had finally gotten it right and 4.0 looked like it was going to cause problems with its Windows 95 inspired UI.
Turns out Windows NT 4.0 was actually pretty good ( especially on DEC Alpha ).
There is absolutely no doubt though that Windows 2000 Professional is the best product Microsoft ever released. If it ran 64 bit apps, I might still be running it today.
By the way, did you know that the Windows NT Resource Kit shipped with the GNU C compiler?
I never worked with any versions of NT before 4, mainly because I was mainly doing desktop support stuff until I got my MCSE cert. But it did indeed work surprisingly well considering how janky it was.
Win2k was such an improvement it wasn’t even funny.
If I did, I’ve forgotten it by now. lol
Without any protection.
ME??
You… uh, like pain, don’t you?
