WilliamDaBastrd Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was recently posed with an interesting question. You must chose one of the following: Windows ME, Microsoft BOB, or Death?

.ShadowFox Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 All of them. Except for Windows XP. XP kicks ass. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/151942-randomness-worst-windows-os/#findComment-1073304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlocke2342 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Never used ME, but Vista sucked so much that I switched to a real macbook last year to replace the Packard Bell piece of {censored} I had as a laptop. Now triple-booting Windows 7 Beta on my PC desktop, along with Ubuntu and OS X. So far, it looks like an improved Vista UI with an XP stability.

MadDoggyca Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 hey come on knock off the windows ME being BS stuff or em I one of the few % that actually liked it? well for started the only blue screen I ever got from windows ME waz the Opss I ejected the CD well it waz in use bluescreen. other then that it worked flawless for me mac Classic from os 6.1 to 9.0 had to by far the worst os ever to use. Lack of system setting, and by far real lack of 3rd Party software next up linux from lets say the years of Fedora Core 5 down to RedHat 7 (witch had the first semi useable UI) same reason as Mac Classic come to think of it I think my Dos 5.0 and Windows 3.1 had more software available then ether linux and mac together had Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/151942-randomness-worst-windows-os/#findComment-1075562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.ShadowFox Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Until Microsoft nixed the DOS core, a BSOD wasn't uncommon. And you could press the any key to continue, in Windows 2000 on you had to reboot.

Coolin93 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 ME definitely Vista's not that bad it just got a lot of bad press. I remember using ME when I was like 7 and I'd be using IE and it would just randomly crash and get a BSOD...

hecker Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 ME was the worst OS microsoft ever produced. Or as Penn & Teller would say: ME is {censored}!

boss4908 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Toss up? Vista & Me. Other than the Dos based windows 3.0-3.1 ect.The problems with Vista was just Me revisited. I have been a Microsoft fan for as long as I have had a computer, early dos days. I hated Me but it was the only real choice. Today we have OS X which is by far the best, just me. I have a Hackintosh (P5e-q9650 quad core clocked 4.3 ghz. Asus 8800gt, 2 hard drives & blu-ray drive that works like a charm) that never crashes & another computer, dual boot XP & Vista. I also run XP with vmware on my hack. For every day use I use OS X. For opps I have to do that there is not readly available I use XP. I almost never use Vista. I tried it with all updates for about a year and hate it. It is the most unstable piece of #@&! Microsoft has made. Largest, slowest most unstable piece of bloatware ever. I wish Microsoft would package Windows by itself. The bigest problem all versions of windows have is they are trying to be all things to all people. Compatability and conectivity is great but they give up too much stability and security at the same time. I hope for Microsoft's sake Windows 7 is better. As my father used to say " Get Good or get gone".While business will stay with Microsoft for years to come the home user will change in a heart beat. Second & End thought: Vista Hands Down the worst. Ubuntu third!!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/151942-randomness-worst-windows-os/#findComment-1085811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAppleFreak Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Uh... I guess ME is the worst. I can't say much about BOB, as I never used it, and I've barely used Vista as it is. All I'm concerned about is being able to run SheepShaver and Basilisk. ME can't run it, I bet BOB can't run it, and Vista f***** up my .hfv file. And the .img file that housed my OS 9 install. 7 seems kinda... interesting. VMware has to work on their Tools for 7, as it thinks 7 is Vista (what a surprise!) and it messes up virtual monitor resolution every time I boot it.

bsn1989 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 ME is about the worst it has been for Microsoft. How can you think Windows 2000 is dreadful? XP with no service pack = Windows 2000.

Alessandro17 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Windows 2000 was dreadful. I had never heard that before. Every "geek" used to believe that Windows 2000 was great. For me the worst piece of Microsoft BS is definitely Vista. I have never used it for longer than a couple of hours. People saying Vista must be 12 y/o. And I suppose you are about 5?

Lintendo Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Definitely Windows ME! Had it for a really short time and deleted it after a lot of blue screens... Also Windows 98, I installed it so many times that I still could recite the complete cd key Using Vista as gaming OS at the moment and I don't like it either.

sthEn Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 For me the worst piece of Microsoft BS is definitely Vista. I have never used it for longer than a couple of hours. Well, that's the reason why you think it's crappy OS. Use it for something more than playing games/watching movies, and you'll realize that Vista is pretty damn good OS.

Calacruf Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Windows ME, hands-down. The hate towards Vista is pretty unreasonable IMO. Nearly all operating systems are full of problems when they are first released, and Vista's share of problems have been fixed for quite a while now. Having Vista, 7, XP, and Fedora on different partitions, I'd say that 7 is the best OS I have and that Vista and Fedora tie for second.
