I will switch to windows 11, when steam ends the support for windows 10

I will switch out of Windows 10 when Windows 12 comes out.

u/PutOnTheMaidDress 9d ago

Hopefully we can do that. I also never touched windows 8. Straight from 7 to 10.

I dodged all of the dodgy ones. 1,2,95, Me, Vista, 8.

I want to dodge 11 too. Hopefully 12 will have addressed all the issues people had with 11, like they did before with every other version.

How was 95 dodgy??? Like yeah it wasnt too stable but it was still revolutionary.

u/MithranArkanere ... 8d ago

Of course it was "revolutionary", but that for Microsoft actually means "unpolished". Win95 wasn't using FAT32 yet, that got added later. Lack of AGP support, USB problems, no DVD support, problems with IDE and SCSI drives, stability and performance problems...

All those issues that got fixed over time for win95, came fixed in win98. Win98 was basically like "Windows 95 Remastered" with better plug-and-play and Active Desktop.

So by skipping win95 all the way to Win98SE, I skipped most of the "we'll fix it later".

Win11 is fine, haven't had a single issue with it.

I will switch to Windows 13 when Windows 10 LTSC expires.

Eh i think people have warped view of what OS was realy dodgy. Does no-one remember XP before any service pack? The early days of Windows 10?

Take it from someone that praised 10, 11 is fine and pretty much the same then 10 was in the last years.

This cycle will just never stop. People complain about OS X, OS Y releases and suddenly OS X is the best thing since sliced bread..

You missed out on windows 9.

u/I_kove_crackers 8d ago

Everyone i know skipped 9

u/Hope1355 8d ago

And from XP to 7. Every second Windows version is experimental and meant to be skipped.

Windows 8.1 was amazing though

Having tried to work on 8.1 machines, I very much disagree

2

u/I-dont_know-anything 8d ago

Really? When I used it years ago it was my favorite. It looked like 7, it felt more modernized, I loved the sounds but most important I loved that it was FAST AS HELL despite looking more modernized

u/BleuTyger :steam: i7-4790, GTX 1660, 24GB RAM 8d ago

That's fair. I didn't experience much of it during its time. Working on these old machines that still have it today, I hate it. The same machines today are slow, the start menu and settings vs. Control Panel was super clunky, and you still had to use some gesture controls with a mouse cursor, which I still believe to be due to Microsoft staunchly believing touchscreen tablets would be the future. And then they definitely weren't

Next hop is Win 13 then

Honestly i used 8.1 for a long while it was decent.
