Do you have a memorable OS?

[show-Zi]

I have macos8.1 left in memory. The first PC I bought was a Mac. I think that the icon which balanced monotony and the color was the design which did not lose to a current Mac.

Windows Vista. It was able to run old and new games, software and even hardware. I had no BSOD, performance or other issues, it was flawless. I miss it.

Windows xp: walked with 256 of ram. if you had 1 gb it was a light

The topics of RAM and HDD make you feel the flow of time.
At that time, I was using Photoshop on a Mac with 1 GB of HDD in 128 MB of RAM.
Although the spec of pc has dramatically improved, stress is still not much different now.
Even if you change from a carriage to Ferrari, it is similar to the story that the stress that is kept waiting in the queue of traffic is together.

I am torn between windows xp and windows 7. I grew up using the XP, and 7 is till date my most favourite OS. Love everything about it. Especially the Aero.

 

[Bleak]

grew up with WinME that ran on 128mb ram then later got XP, during that time despite my very young age, I learnt to install WinXP alone
then on XP had 256mb with celeron cpu, felt like a god playing GTA vice city during that time in ~2002 (I remember those times very well till now, and still remember GTA VC map very well, eventho last time I ever played was around 2006 i think..)

Windows xp: walked with 256 of ram. if you had 1 gb it was a light

I was able to put it with only 9 active services including firewall and antivirus. It was lightning

I'm still in love with iOS 6. It had a warm skeuomorphic design, there I felt it had designed by a human, not a machine. RIP iOS 6.

Not used that many OSes. And even had computer/Internet rather late. XP was OK, had performance issues but mostly because the device wasn't powerful. 7 was good. 8.1 has been great. 8.1 had very few issues on its own. Android side, Kitkat was the best. I think Kitkat and Win 8.1 will be memorable for me in the long run.

Linux Slackware 7 (i guess).

Win98 for the win

 

[Weebarra]

Oh, i've only ever known W7 so i suppose that has to be my choice, i had never even touched a computer until i got my little friend, the only thing i don't like is the BSOD's it likes to send me from time to time now those are memorable, etched in my brain forever more they are.

 

[Mahesh Sudula]

W 7 Ultimate is my memorable OS. Very stable. Managed to run highly hardcore games .Windows XP is my next choice

You feel bad for BSOD and dye the yellow face red. Win 7 may have given you the ability to control the flow of traffic at the intersection of the street corner.

Indeed it is my friend, that is a timely reminder for me so that when i see no blue on my screen, i must remain calm for nothing is worse than than BSOD for me

 

[brambedkar59]

Definitely Win XP on 2GB RAM (back in SP3 days), super freaking fast. It handled everything flawlessly.
Didn't find Win7 better than XP in any department except UI (Aero Theme).
Best performance was on Win 8.1

 

[LASER_oneXM]

back in the 90's i've ben running "Windows NT 4.0 professional" on one of my machines. Compared with windows 95/98/98SE it was a very stable OS and thats why i installed this pretty expensive OS.

My first Windows version to be used was Windows 98. Oh man, the greatness! I was a little kid and I spent hours drawing with Paint (all I could do since I had no internet).

But the most memorable was for sure Windows XP. That's where I developed my passion for technology. That's where I first knew gaming and where I started learning about security, fixing computers and cleaning malware. That was when I first started doing antivirus testing (testing which one was better for my system) but of course in a horrible way, installing more than two antivirus at a time, making it unbootable. Oh, good memories. I owe XP so much!

I broke my PC so many times playing with antivirus and software, that my mom was so sick n' tired of paying a technician to fix it so she stopped doing it. That forced me to start looking for tutorials and be my own teacher on the subject, and that made me the nerd I am today!
