If she's unrepentant, she'd get Windows Me

NOOOO, WHAT'S THE SAFE WORD?!

Could have been Gentoo.

Could have been worse, he could have installed Vista

it stops being punishment if you ask for permission every few seconds

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!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Vista with updates was also shockingly stable. 7 on launch was really just Vista with a new taskbar skin.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Found the Win Me fan.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Not even close. Vista wasn't a straight-up middle finger to desktop users. Well, not by M$ standards anyway.

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.

Vista

Too dangerous. No safe word can save you from windows ME.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

You'll blue screen and you'll like it!

The safe word is

This post is so old that the first time I saw it Windows 8.1 was still rolling out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Windows 8 was pretty bad, but you could at least still use desktop mode just fine with a quick settings fix.

Fucking windows 11 took top, left, and right taskbar from us and then locked all the threads asking for it back, and prevented the registry hack to at least get top taskbar back.

Windows 8 was fine

I'm holding out on my work laptop until they force me to "upgrade"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But not old enough for this to be about Windows ME.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

windows me! my first computer that was "mine"

had to reinstall so many times lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Anyone got a boot floppy around? Actually my first would have been a hand me down 80286 system with some version of DOS on it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Completely forgot that OS existed

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I read it in Ayoade's voice lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Just need to remove "8" from that message.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Not even the worst Windows

Classic Moss!

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."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

I don't think Windows will ever fully escape Win32 cruft. One of the major features of Windows is backwards compatibility.

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.

[–] BudgetBandit 2 points 1 day ago

Only for subs, constantly asking for permission.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I fucking loved windows 8, if I could I would still have the all screen start menu bastard.
