Could have been worse, he could have installed Vista
8 was worse. At least Vista looked like Windows instead of being some weird phone OS hybrid where I couldn’t find anything until I installed a third-party start menu. A start menu!
Vista with updates was also shockingly stable. 7 on launch was really just Vista with a new taskbar skin.
Found the Win Me fan.
Not even close. Vista wasn’t a straight-up middle finger to desktop users. Well, not by M$ standards anyway.
Shouldn’t that be 11?
I always thought there’s a line people draw when they do bdsm so the fun doesn’t become torture.
You just crossed it using a 6m pole in order to land as far as possible from the line.
Windows ME
Absolutely the worst from a power user perspective
Windows Bob has entered the chat
What about Windows ME?
Too dangerous. No safe word can save you from windows ME.
The safe word is <This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down>
You’ll blue screen and you’ll like it!
BSOD
I read it in Ayoade’s voice lol
Not even the worst Windows
Classic Moss!
Could have been Gentoo.
I thought 8 was ok… 8.1 was the best 8, which changed a few of the annoying things and made it fine. I agree with the other person here, this should be Vista.

If she’s unrepentant, she’d get Windows Me
8 was at least an attempt to try to make things better for home users and get away from win32 cruff.
Like or hate the exact approach they took, you have to admire the spirit.
10 and 11 has been Microsoft saying “fuck em. They won’t ever be happy steal everything you can while they’re still here.”
Could be worse; could be Vista, 7, 10, 11,
At least 8/8.1 had a good UI
Vista really really sucked by Microsoft’ standards
If they did the 11 thing where old hardware can’t use it then it wouldn’t be any worse than 7
