Windows started with Windows 1.0 1982-1985.

Windows 1 had “windows” you can click out of with a mouse.

1998–2000: WINDOWS 98, WINDOWS 2000, WINDOWS ME

Windows 98:work and home, and Internet cafes where you can get wifi.  “Works Better, Plays Better.”

More than just the upgrade to Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional is designed to replace Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 on all business desktops and laptops. 

2001–2005: WINDOWS XP—STABLE, USABLE, AND FAST

Windows XP arguebly better then vista because of stability issues and compatibitlity issues.

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition (2002) realizes the vision of pen-based computing. Tablet PCs include a digital pen for handwriting recognition and you can use the mouse or keyboard, too.

Windows XP = better then vista

WINDOWS VISTA – THE BAD ONEWindows vista not safer and windows firewall was a joke

Windows Vista not compatible with last os software

XP far more compatible software then vista.

Vista is just bad. Don’t get it.

WINDOWS 7 AND 8

Windows 7 was much better then Vista because it actually worked. Windows 7 is really good and compatible with a lot of software. However Windows 8 is also really good because it brought tiles. I like tiles. I like touch compatibility.
