Windows 95 was great, it set the framework for all future releases. It was Windows 98 that was kind of stunk, kind of a pointless OS. The way I see it is like this:

EARLY WINDOWS
Windows 1.0 - Bad
Windows 2.0 - Better
Windows 3.0 - Good
Windows 3.1x - Great
MODERN WINDOWS
Windows 95 - Great
Windows 98 - Bad
Windows 98SE - Good
Windows ME - Awful || Windows 2000 - Great
Windows XP - Great
Windows Vista - Awful
Windows 7 - Great
Windows 8 - Awful
Windows 8.1 - Okay
Windows 10 - Bad

Wait, why is this in this thread…?

You left out NT.

Also: y’all should use Macs.

If you’re into graphic design or video editing, sure. I am not.

Apple products are, by and large, overpriced and heavily restrictive. Sure, you can install Bootcamp on a Mac and run Windows, but isn’t that defeating the purpose? The advantage of a PC is if I want to fix or upgrade a part, I can open my box and upgrade it. Like adult Legos. If a part on a Mac breaks, it’s time to buy a new Mac.

Also, I can not stand iOS. My dad gave me an old iPad when he upgraded to a newer model once upon a time, and I almost immediately was compelled to jailbreak it. Seriously—you can’t even do something as simple as change the app icon titles on the home screen, or give the folders actually interesting looking icons. Among other things. It’s beyond frustrating to have to cope with vanilla iOS.

The primary advantage Apple has is the ability to dumb down their interface and simplify settings so a monkey can probably use it. But I want more flexibility in my software, so no thank you.

It is also among these reasons that Apple TV is only a tiny fraction of the streaming box market, since they waited until the recent Apple TV 4 before you could install apps from the Store that didn’t come stock on the device when you bought it. So if my dad wants his ATV2 to access his media server, he has to install certificates on the ATV and run a script on the server that lets the server hijack the Trailers app. It’s ridiculous.

I miss Windows XP.

I’m into graphic design (part of how I make a living), video editing (hobby) and music production (both) and I just don’t get along with Macs.

Ditto. Would never touch a Mac outside of goofy employers who have bought into the “Macs are for artists!” line.

Anyway, back to banned members.

Or band members.

Shh, don’t reveal my secret shame.

To me it says that you are, for some reason, being a snarky little shit.
If that’s not what it is, please explain.

I don’t get the problem here. I told you that it meant what it said. If you were to take it at face value, that comment would not have indicated that I was being a snarky little shit. I told you that you should not take it like that.

I meant what I said. “That’s good for you.”

That’s not the way it was meant. But, as I’ve acknowledged many times before, the way it was meant does not matter. So, I did make a mistake in the way that was worded. I apologize.

“Good for you.” isn’t something anybody typically says when someone else says they prefer a different tool unless it’s sarcasm. It seemed to be a non sequitur to me, so I asked for clarification instead of just assuming.

I told you that it meant what it said. If you were to take it at face value, that comment would not have indicated that I was being a snarky little shit.

I disagree.

I told you that you should not take it like that.

No you didn’t. You said “It means what it says.” which only backs up my “snarky little shit” theory.

I meant what I said. “That’s good for you.”

Ok. Weird, but groovy.

I could just say “I disagree” with any of this, which represents the inane quality of this argument. As such, I will not be engaging with you any further on this topic of my wording of that post.
