Having been a student and user of all of these OSes (first got into computers in 1981) I have found that no matter how good or bad an OS seems to be, it is always a work in progress even after it is released. often an inefficient OS becomes a well loved OS by the time it has been on systems for a couple years. the main thing to keep in mind with any system is, theses are imperfect machines created by equally imperfect people who are in themselves a work in progress. all of these OSes had good things and bad things about them personally I am looking forward to what else is coming down the line.

Windows 2000 is the best Microsoft operating system to date. Windows ME was very unstable. Windows XP is a bloated version of Windows 2000. Windows Vista and Windows 7 are absolutely terrible, hogging way too much system resources for pointless things like crappy looking ‘Aero’ GUI…

I used it for my term paper!
Thanks for saving my time I’d otherwise waste on Googling them (except fot Win7).

I do remember running Win98 (and probably also WinNT 4.x) on an Pentium 133 with 8MiB RAM (and that was mote than what they asked for, AFAICR)

Windows NT would have been the first, followed by Windows 2000.

I’m sorry, I meant that it was the first consumer oriented version of Windows to be built on
i think a lot of credit should go to amiga for the first few versions of windows

“You worried me when I read the title of this article that it was going to turn in to another one of these Vista-bashing articles that are all over the internet recently. Vista’s minimum requirements are pretty much the same as OS X 10.5 but no-one moans about that.”

Unlike Vista, OSX actually works.

Vista works fine for me, but this is a NEW machine. I think it is one of those (like XP SP2) that is best done on a clean install, not upgrade.

Windows XP was the first “consumer oriented” operating system… meaning strictly for home and personal use. Before this version Windows NT versions were meant more for business uses.
