Before Microsoft announces Windows 11, let's rank the previous versions of Windows

Microsoft will announce Windows 11 today. The company has teased parts of the operating system leading up to its livestream at 11 AM ET. It's non every yr that we see a new version of Windows. In fact, for years we idea that Windows 10 would be the last version of the OS.

With such major news happening today, we wanted to marker the occasion with a ranking of the previous versions of Windows. The operating system has come up a long mode since its initial launch. Each version has its strengths and weaknesses, so picking an overall favorite might vary quite a bit from person to person.

For example, while many people view Windows viii as one of the worst versions of Windows, some loved it for its focus on touch and tablets. Windows Vista was mostly panned, but in hindsight might not have been as bad as people remember it.

Nostalgia may besides play a part in how people rank the versions of Windows. The first version of the operating system I used was Windows 95. I'll e'er take a soft spot for that OS, fifty-fifty though it'southward worse than Windows ten in terms of functionality.

I as well started covering Windows professionally around the time Windows 10 launched, then I'm partial to information technology. I imagine that other people have every bit subjective reasons for liking different versions of Windows.

Once enough people take participated, nosotros'll share the results. In addition to ranking the previous versions of Windows, please share the first version of Windows y'all remember using in the comments beneath.
