Win XP and Vista are the worst:
-It accelerated the obligatory dependency of Internet.
-Make popular the "kill good oldies" policy.
-Bad compatibility with most non XP software.
-No IPX

WinMe is just a pound of bugs.

Vista by far is the worst....

[Thunderbolt 2864]

Yeah Windows Vista sucks. Too bad this poll is old though. I could rant all day how bad Vista is, hardware requirements are way too much, its just stupid.

[redxii]

Everything except the NT line.

[awergh]

except that vista is in the nt line so you cant say that
anyway i havent actually used ME i know its terrible but i havent used it so the one i dislike the most is vista which makes it worst and there is nothing wrong with the 9x line

WINDOWS ME

piece of s**t

if it came installed on a pc worked fine.........but other than that absolute rubbish!!!

[eidenk]

I am a WinME user and I have voted XP Pro.

I have tested WinNT4, Win98SE, Win2k, WinME and WinXP Pro under the same virtual machine on my AthlonXP 2600/WinME computer.

NT4 is the fastest to operate. 2K, ME and 98SE are a bit slower but with not much visible difference between themselves. Maybe 2K is a bit slower than the 2 other ones. XP Pro is incredibly slow in everything.

Nearly 2 minutes to boot versus just 20 seconds for ME. Several seconds to launch notepad, etc...

Probably if I had also tested Vista in this virtual box it would have earned the palm instead of XP Pro.

As for WinME being a pile of s***, which seems to be the opinion of 75% of posters in this thread, I think that what gives this impression is the stupid movie you are forced to watch when you install the OS and the horrible white logo.

Maybe it's also somewhat buggy out of the box, I can't remember, but well updated and trimmed of the useless system restore, wmi, etc... it's pretty good albeit I would not recommend it on a much lower specs machine than mine.

In french, I like to call Windows ME... Windows MErde!

[amit_talkin]

ME sucks ...evvvv.

I agree. I go for Vista (Longhorn in the poll).

Right. 9x is perfect - except for a lack of multiprocessor support (and thus a lack of SMP support), lack of ACL support in the file systems nor the registry, nor any at the process level (thus user-mode applications can crash the whole system), lack of user permission levels, and only 64K of GDI and user-mode (desktop) heap compared to 3MB (default) in an NT-based OS (meaning I can't have as many applications open at once). I won't go into group policy and domain support, as that doesn't affect home users as much, and multi-user support in XP/Vista probably isn't as important to some home users as well.

[RJARRRPCGP]

I dunno, but Windows XP was starting to make me peed off!

Thanks to Windows product activation and Windows Genuine Advantage.

[awergh]

i never said it was perfect i just siad that there wasnt much wrong with it, it depends what you want on a computer anyway

9x supports domains, you can use poledit to write polices, its just xp and vista home that doesnt support it even though wfw 3.11 could connect to a domain

but use what you want not up to me

windows ME. the pain it was...

[Brando569]

dos isnt windows, its dos :-P ill go with everyone else and say ME

[Legolash2o]

Windows 95 is rubbish

[dirtwarrior]

I chose windows 95 cause it lacks some dll's to run certain software.98 was a little better.98SE was great. ME with a few tweaks ran flawless for me.
The only thing I have against ME was that MS dropped project neptune (windows 2000 home) in favor of ME. A very bad move.


A friend of mine has to have the latest OS is using vista. He claims vista is the worst. I dont to ever use vista so I dont know if its true or not.

XP Home and Vista Home don't support domains because they're sold to customers who don't need domains. Want domain support, get professional. It's not a limitation in the capabilities of the OS, it's a limitation imposed by the company intentionally. Poledit policies are nothing compared to what you get with Windows 2000 and up in the NT line, and the fact still remains that the 9x line was not truly multi-user. The NT line is much more stable and secure, regardless of whatever "features" you don't like.

[midi2k6]

WHY NO OPTION TO CHOOSE: WIN VISTA ???

JESUS!!! KILLING AND SUCKING HARDWARES LIFE

[anonymous_user]

I would have said Vista but given the options, Ill settle for Windows Me.
