Windows 3.1 was fine and fast. They should have stopped there.

3.1 looked terrible.

2000 was stable and looked decent for it's time. Enjoyed the look of 10, but behind the scenes it was invasive. 11 is terrible on the looks* and the invasiveness.

*) seriously... it looks dated and cluttered after using something like Gnome for a while

2000 was amazing. Constantly rebooting was a normal thing and everyone from techs to end users was fine with it, because it was normal.

One day I was telling my bf, "This thing has been running for a month! I got 30-days uptime!"

Is this any good? Looks pretty neat for helping people switch

Its been in alpha since the 90s and can't run anything past vista last I checked. For most mint with wine is probably still ideal. I was just being silly and giving a genuine reply

Progman.exe for the win
