Peak Windows?

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@dntlookbehindu I posted two other polls for that.

[pensadorlouco@kolektiva.social]

@ryanc I've missed Win95 OSR2 release, in there.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@sjuvonen Possibly my bias from never having used 3.11. I stand by my position that Windows 2000 was strictly better than NT 4.0, though.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@pensadorlouco consider it included under 95

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@pixelnull Definitely counts as debloated

[fritzadalis@infosec.exchange]

@ryanc @catsalad
I would have voted for 10 debloat, but it's too much work running an os you can't trust. I think 7 was the last version of Windows as an os and not as a cloud/ad platform.

@ryanc

NT 3.5.1

never to be repeated or equaled.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@FritzAdalis @catsalad agree

[sjuvonen@infosec.exchange]

@ryanc
Yea, I do agree. It realized many promises from NT 3.x and 4.0.

I never really used the horrors of 95/98/me, having gotten a taste of NT. And having access to registration codes for the enter-pricy from work helped.

[onyxraven@hachyderm.io]

@ryanc one’s hoping for NT4 in the list so win2k is the closest

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@onyxraven was there any way in which NT 4.0 was better than 2000?

[notecharlie@social.bigcavemaps.com]

@ryanc NT4. my opinions will not be changed.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@notecharlie fine, I have no specific dislike of NT 4.0, but I'd like to hear why it was on any way better than 2000

[mainframed767@infosec.exchange]

@ryanc windows 98 criminally underrated here

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@mainframed767 the original?

[notecharlie@social.bigcavemaps.com]

@ryanc my recollection is that 2000 was more limited with the windows subsystems for (unix, mac etc), while NT4 could be put in a posix-compliant mode and mostly work. Plus 2000 was when NT started to acquire more of the DOS-based-windows "cruft". But my experience with both 2000 and NT4 is super limited and my reply was mostly poking the bear.

I mostly have a hatred of windows 95/98, and vista-on, and just dislike the gui of XP.

[sagefault@infosec.exchange]

@ryanc Enterprise. Whichever version, you want it in "Enterprise", corporations don't put up with the sit MS foists on home users.

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@ryanc are you asking for the best Windows or the most Windows. Because my answers will be different, depending

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@notecharlie Thanks for the explanation.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@mcc I had "best" in mind, but I am interested to hear your thoughts on "best" vs "most".
