Quality, but what about ME, and arguably 3.11. Does NT cover both 3.5.1 and 4? (my memory is hazy about earlier)
8.1 as well
Bob
I see 8.1 as 9. Will never not.
Fuck you. Bringing up ME and making me relive the memories. Even as a kid, I couldn’t stand it wanted 98 back.
ME and Vista are by far the worst to date.

11 is trying its darnedest.
I personally never had any issues with Vista. Even deferred win7 for 4-5 years until I got curious. Though I did have a system made for it, so that was part of it.
Vista was a nightmare unless you had OEM equipment that wasn’t just vista compatible, but MADE FOR VISTA. Your experience was an aberration, most people got ‘vista compatible’ PCs that were running vista but made with XP sp1 in mind. So you’d see these systems that had no hardware graphics acceleration beyond onboard anemic garbage trying to run menus with DOF blur and soft overlays just gagging, and god forbid you had to troubleshoot/support some software on some shit like this, it was a nightmare.
The rest of the people upgraded from XP to Vista themselves, and the smart ones went “OH FUCK NO” and went back in droves.
I don’t know if they reclassified it at some point, but back on those days 3.5 was titled “Windows for Workgroups” and 4.0 was the first to be known simply as “NT”.Forget what I said, I recalled an old memory from childhood of a 3.5 upgrade box for people running Windows for Workgroups.
NT 4.0 is definitely what popularized that version prior to Windows 2000 and XP. Most people who just say “Windows NT” are thinking about 4.0.
3.11 was WfW, and ran on top of DOS just like 3.1 did.
NT 3.51 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like 3.1/3.11 on the surface. NT 4 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like Win95.
Win 95/98/Me also ran on DOS, though it was more tightly integrated than it was in the 3.1 days.
Win 2k and everything after was based on NT.

RE: Re: FWD: RE:
Was dude even at the company after Vista?
Nope. Bill left MS in 2008 and Windows 7 came out in 2009.
Also the joke left out Windows 10x, AKA 11.
And for some reason, it includes NT and Win2k, but leaves out all the other Server versions (2003 through 23H2).
Yeah the whole meme is funny but stupid and wrong. It’s like blaming Steve Jobs for the Vision Pro.
Yeah I’m over here on Windows 13.
NT 3.1 came out before 95, and isn’t a single version (Windows 11 is still Windows NT). If you include NT as a version, you can’t include 2000, XP, or anything after.
In Windows NT math, 6.3 = 8.1
