Really? I was fine with XP after SP3 and hands down I hated Vista with a passion.
| Bofferbrauer said: Windows 98 SE was the best Windows, followed by 7 Also really liked BeOS, too bad it died down. But with Haiku at least some spiritual sucessor is in the works.
Unless you use it on a secondary retro PC, I wouldn't advise using XP anymore. Nowadays XP is a honeytrap for Virus and spam as it lacks almost any protection now. |
It still works like a charm, and I have no issues with it, aside from being pretty slow..
Though I mainly use my Mac for most things especiall for online browsing

Not every bus is equivalent. i wouldn't want to ride a bus with back-breaking chairs.

I have favourite trains and trams. They have different layouts and performance and levels of graffiti.
I love the boot sounds for the older Windows. Particularly Windows 95!
I used Debian for anything other than gaming. Windows is just eating too many resource.
A handheld gamer only (for now).
| Raistline said: You forgot to add Windows 8.1 as it is vastly different and superior to Windows 8. Also, Ubuntu is Linux. |
Pretty much this. Nailed it. I'd also give Debian a go as a Server OS for non-Directory Services.
Also, Linux is improving for gaming a lot lately. I do all my PC playing in Linux Mint through Steam: Witcher 2, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Half-Life series, Metro, Trine, Portal, etc.
The future never looked so good for GNU/Linux.

My brother decided to jump on the boat and got it, again he regretted it, lol, back the it didn't even have a desktop, that wasn't brought in until 8.1, or at least I don't think... I decided to upgrade, but to Windows 7 since it looked closer to what I was comfortable with, although Win7 MS Paint is god-fucking-awful, and as someone who uses it for pixel art, it was kind of a big deal at the time of upgrading, lol. Turns out you can download a standalone XP version off the net anyway, so that sorted it. I've not upgraded to Windows 10 yet, and I don't plan on doing so unless it becomes absolutely mandatory and all software stops supporting Win7... |
Why not use Pyxel Edit or Gimp? They are free.

I prefer ios on cisco devices the most, since I am a network engineer ^^
but I voted Windows 10, its a step up from Windows 7 in most ways and that was my favourite before it, hell I didn't even hate Windows 8. Microsoft has done alright the last years it was with windows ME and Vista that they really pissed me off lol

A few reasons; I don't like the UI of Pyxel Edit, something about it rubs me the wrong way lol. I use GIMP along with Photoshop for brush work anyway, like sketching and full on drawings and such, never really bothered to use either of them for pixel art... and thirdly, I've been using MS Paint for pixel art for close to fifteen years now, so trying to use anything else feels weird, lol |
Thats fine. The artist decides what is the best tool.
