Windows 7 is the GOAT, you didn't have to deal with privacy concerns because even as a Windows 10 users now, I had to go on youtube and turn off, block all privacy nonsense that were in the OS that they do not tell you about in which info is being sent to them. Windows 11 will be the real deal breaker, as they have announced a program called Recall that will be in Windows 11 soon, which will record ALL activities on your PC, which means conversations, app uses, browsers, what you upload, download, install, folders, data, etc, etc, and their reasoning? "So that you can retrieve previous data if you so wish..." Yes...that's why they're doing this. Man, I wished most things still ran on Win7, because I would love to go back to that, I miss that OS soo much, the BEST of all time.

[@SargentDoom]

I prefer the colourful and more alive UI of windows 11 an file explorer tabs, but thats where windows 11's pros end. 7 was and will always be the best OS ever made

[@xxz2007]

I'd place 98 on par with 2000 because the latter was better when it came to stability, but it lost on games which were mainly DOS-based (that's why many games worked better on 9x), as well as certain programs. Also 2000 was bundled with DirectX 7.

[@anicetune]

My personal experience Windows 2 - The GUI was ground breaking at the time and a lot of fun. I had hours upon hours of fun on this. Windows 3.1 - I absolutely loved this. I thought it was the greatest OS ever! So clear, colourful, professional looking. Loved TrueType on MS Word 2. Windows 95 - Another groundbreaking OS. Loved the start button, Windows Explorer and being able to drag and drop. It did crash a lot though and I missed 3.1 like crazy. Windows 98 - I never really used this, but tried it and it was just like Windows 95 - except the title bar had a gradient and the clouds wallpaper swooshed. Windows ME - my first upgrade from Windows 95 - and it was visually stunning. I loved the menu animations and new icons. It still crashed a lot though just like 95, but I was used to this. Windows XP - what a breath of fresh air this was. It literally never crashed and was visually beautiful. I must have used this OS for 10 years and it remains my favourite even today. Windows Vista - the visual refresh was beautiful. This OS felt very advanced, but the security dialogues were annoying. I was so disappointed that the slide menu animation disappeared. Windows 7 - visually beautiful, just like Vista, but without the annoying security dialogues. I loved this OS and used it for a long time, but missed XP. I hated the new start menu. Windows 8 - I bought a 27" touchscreen monitor for this and it looked and felt amazing. I found that I never used the touchscreen though and eventually, the new style became irritating. Windows 8.1 - literally, Windows 8 but with a start menu and floating Windows over Metro. I welcomed a return to the older style. At this point, I missed 7 though and XP even more. Windows 10 - The new start menu was incredible ! I got comfortable with this OS quickly, even though I was aware of how evil it was - stealing all your data. The new icons looked bad. Windows 11 - worst version of Windows I've ever used. It feels clunky and dumbed down, the start menu is terrible and the evilness present in Windows 10 has been amplified.

[@EdwinPWeston]

XP way my favorite. Windows 11 will not run on any of my 9 computers. I did the registry hack on one pc to install it and I have to agree with everything you said about it.

[@NotRainbowSteve]

Windows vista ain’t too bad, the only reason people say it’s bad is because of how high the system requirements at the time, compared to what could be used easily and affordably, windows vista and 7 are virtually the same thing, windows 7 is literally just an update to it. I don’t care about nostalgia, I’m looking at statistics, I’ve tried both (in a virtual machine since I’m not risking screwing up my into pc but I also couldn’t get the WiFi working on the VM for both), and they both are basically the same thing, windows 7 just had more compatibility, so I’d 7 goes high, vista also goes high, just not as high.

Windows 7 belongs in S league, 8 & 8.1 wasn’t all that as you stated it was complicated but a new look, 10 carried a look that I loved and the security issues i didn’t have I understood my way around I didn’t see why they did 11 but may cause I’ve lost interest in going deep in the system to find out the changes.

honestly 7 was the last good version of windows, everything after that was just bloated garbage filled with ads and telemetry, and just much harder to use with settings scattered all over the place. unironically, if you take a windows 7 iso and patch it to have things like modern drivers, despite some compatibility issues, it's a much better experience than 10 and 11.

[@MindCaged]

I haven't used 11 yet, because my computer doesn't have the TPM chip so it's not supported even though everything else on the system is good enough. I understand you can get around that requirement but it requires hacks and I heard they keep trying to stop people from doing it with each new version. You also don't get automatic updates and being up to date with security patches is the only reason I have to be interested in 11. I also don't want to risk Tiny11 on my current system. I just bought a Mini PC online that comes with 11, so I guess I'll see for myself, but I'll probably have to immediately download stuff to fix the start menu/taskbar/shortcut menus/etc. If I actually find it decent I might do a full drive image and see if I can get Tiny11 running on my current system. 10 from what I've heard started out good, and was even marketed for its low system requirements and supposedly being good on older hardware, but every (forced)update since then has broken stuff and/or added bloat to the system. 11 Apparently is somewhat the same, as one of the first things a lot of people do is run debloater programs on a fresh install. I actually had ME on my first brand new computer(before that I used garage sale/flea market/thrift store finds). I thought it was mostly fine, but maybe I just didn't have much of a frame of reference. Thinking back I did have quite a few BSODs, and after a few years finding any hardware with compatible drivers was a bit of a nightmare. But I do remember it as the first windows OS that I used that had the hibernate feature, not sure if 2000 had it as I never used 2000. I was actually a little annoyed at the loss of the DOS basis as I had quite a few DOS abandonware games, and I think this was before DOSbox. XP and 7 were both great, not much to say. If I could use them forever I might consider it considering my alternatives are 10/11(won't even mention 8). I've also been trying out Linux, but after 2 decades on windows becoming quite advanced and learning how to customize things extensively and how to troubleshoot and be my own tech support, linux is more than a bit of an adjustment. I can muddle through some things, but other things I've tried to fix things has only made them worse a few times. Some things though work very well once you know how. I have mixed feelings on basically the solution to most problems seeming to involve opening a terminal and often requiring sudo. I've gotten /tons/ of permission errors, which required me to close down a gui program and relaunch it with sudo.

[@9852323]

Personally I don’t get the hate for windows 8. Yeah the start menu sucks because it’s not designed for desktop use but all you have to do is install classic shell and it fixes that issue. It literally takes less than 5 minutes and once you did that it was a faster and improved version of Windows 7. The explorer shell itself isn’t any different from 7s either and the added support for newer hardware and an overall faster lighter OS was a welcome improvement over 7 and with added features like an improved task manager file transfer dialog box and fast boot made it a nice update in my opinion. If it wasn’t for the start menu nobody would’ve had issues with 8. I think windows 10 was way WAY worse than 8 because the start menu was still trash it was far far slower because it was a highly unoptimized resource hog and not to mention the issues with telemetry and the lack of control with updates random restarts and Microsoft store apps automatically downloading even after being deleted plus them installing it on windows 7/8 pcs without permission during release. In my opinion windows 10 was a disaster and I’m glad we’ve moved on to 11 despite the unnecessarily high system requirements. But thats easy to get past.

YASSSSSSSSS Its Me Windows 98 Bet I am Good 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@Saxera_official]

Nah windows 12 is better

[@synonys]

3:39 Win98 was not NT based and was entirely based on DOS.

[@ZeronimeYT]

Bruh why Win 10 same rank as Win 8? At lease give him A grade.

[@balljunge8992]

Windows XP the best

[@niazchoudhury9144]

I do like the design and the Icons of Windows 11 and alot of it's new features but I hated the start menu and the size of the taskbar to fix this I use a program called Start all back which made my start menu similar to Windows 7 but with a Windows 11 theme to it

[@431TechIT-pq5em]

watching this vid on xp laptop with mint and win 10 dualbooted

[@windowswhistler2000]

5:14 actually 2000 was a business oriented OS it was never meant for consumers

[@MichaelSouhoka]

Actually, Clippy showed up for the first time in Office 97 family, and we hate it. 😄

[@Windows98-p2p]

I Like This The Video👍

[@kazirakaibethan]

nah windows 7 must be on the head of s tier

[@christopherauito7262]

I agree with these rankings 100%.

[@lucaswai2806]

My Favorite version is 8.1 (with startisback). Because it very stable and run a lot faster than XP/Vista/7/10/11 in the same Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM. 2nd. 2000 Pro. Still, it run stable and faster than any newer version 3rd. 10 (IoT Enterprise LTSC). This version has no bloatware and only have security updates. It faster then Vista/7. 4th. Vista and 7. Slow! It used lot of storage.(clean install used 39GB) 5th. 10(SAC) Bloat, slow, buggy and no privacy. 6th. 11. Too Bloat, too slow, too laggy, ton of bugs, always freeze in right click menu. Hate: Millennium. ruins everything No comment of 98 and older cuz never use these before.

[@geek-head]

why does EVERYONE hate the UWP rightclick context menu in win 11???

[@ObjectPresents]

It's not the UWP but rather missing options (no task manager, no drag and drop and no moving Taskbar)

[@geek-head]

@@ObjectPresents maybe not me

[@fluf201playz]

these ads are bs

[@mr.boniato6402]

Please fix the connectivity issues with v5.01. Pages like Amazon, KZbin hesitate to open.. WHY? As soon as I disconnect from the VPN, the pages open normally. All PC's using the VPN behave the same. I should have known better.. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Spend a little more and get something more reliable!

[@Mr-wt3uf]

don't waste your time. Just go elsewhere. I come here from time to time to see if they have fixed their issues, but I see they haven't.

[@Mr.Fotingo-qf9hk]

If it's not something it's something else with Surfshark 🤦‍♂

[@hawaiibound.]

​@@Mr-wt3ufI am repeatedly having problems with SurfShark! Before doing anything online, I always go to Google and ask what my IP address is, to see if SurfShark is actually working and it's never hiding my IP address. I've tried every option that Surfshark's customer service has suggested, such as; changing the default protocol, changing the location, turned off battery-saving mode, made sure I didn't have any anti-virus software running. I also don't have any other VPNs or firewalls, so none of those could be causing the problems. But yet, Surfshark is NOT hiding my IP address or hiding my real location. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! 😡😡😡

[@MrRoda8143]

Where's Windows 3.1?

[@very_nice_777]

W comparison

[@redtoadengineering9226]

Vista it self wasn't bad, it was Microsoft and O.E.Ms not knowing what the word communication is.

[@Windows11.1]

Windows 10 and 11 is the best os ever much better than overrated windows 7

[@guysmith3996]

What happened to Windows NT 3.51 and NT 4.0? You completely forgot about those. This makes your tier list incomplete.

[@danielgartin-oh9ik]

I used Windows 7 a heck of a lot at school
