What is your favorite version of Windows to date?

Poll is about your favorite, feel free to discuss your least favorites too, I know I have mine. And lets not compare Windows to anything else in this thread, start another thread for O/S comparisons if you want.

Also I left a couple of versions along the way out, they sucked, but it wasn't outstanding sucking. NT 4.0 for example

And the poll ending at Windows 7 was strictly a system issue, I ran out of space for options. It does not reflect my opinion on 8, 10 (The ^cough* last Windows O/S according to MicroCrap at the time) and Windows 11.

With the exception of 8 of course, that totally sucked.

Oh Windows 7 for me, which as you say is a revised up-graded and de-bugged Vista. Works fine for me, I will be sorry to finally see it depart even though it stopped being updated a good two years ago.

I actually had a good experience with Vista, but so far my best experience is with 10.

I am pissed now though, just found out that MS is getting rid of all the bypasses to be able to use a local account with W11. I have ZERO interest is using an MS login or any of their services! I just want the OS, WTF!?

Thanks!

I'd vote, but Win11 isn't on the list, which probably makes me an outlier anyway.

Truth be told, I built my current 3yr-old PC with a mobo specifically chosen to future-proof Windows by making sure the one I bought was Win11-compatible, and logging into my MS account during setup wasn't any skin off my nose. I couldn't have cared less, and quickly found myself enjoying the convenience.
