It’s been a long, strange trip, Microsoft.
XP was popular and long-lived.
It dominated the market for years, and that longevity speaks to how good XP was.
XP was a rapid success, despite an early stumble.
This delay contributed in part to Microsoft’s reputation for building insecure products.
Despite its flaws, XP had many advantages, which accounted for its remarkable popularity.
Windows 95 was one of Microsoft’s earlier graphical user interfaces, which was layered on top of DOS.
Released in October 2009, Windows 7 hds a completely different look and feel from other Windows versions.
In short, Microsoft got it right with Windows 7.
Windows 10
Windows 10, which was released in July 2015, is fast and stable.
It’s not your father’s Windows, but there is nothing wrong with Windows 10.
It just exists in a slightly post-PC world.
Windows 10 also runs on Windows phones and tablets.
However, Windows 8 was stable and speedy.
Fans of Windows 8 loved the live tiles and easy gestures.
All the Others
Wondering where Windows Vista and Windows Me fall in this list?
Way, way down.
However, each OS had its purpose at the time and had many followers.
