Microsoft Windows is an operating system. MicrosoftCorporation make it. You've used it. You probably disliked something about it.

Quoth orj: "it's something we all love to hate"

...except for GreigMcGill, who does NOT love to hate it, he just wishes it would go away, thus making everybody's life more pleasant, and the field of technical support a lot less like pin the tail on the donkey...

WlugIncorporated is about advocating Linux, and providing honest comparisons, not FearUncertaintyDoubt? comparisons. Don't say Windows is teh sucks because then you look like an idiot.


Flavours of Microsoft Windows

  • Windows 1.x/2.x: Fun with 286's.
  • Windows 3.1: Still openly sat on top of DOS.
  • Windows 95/98/ME: Crappy. Edit me.
  • Windows NT: In 19?? Microsoft decided to abandon their participation in IBM's OS/2 project and instead decided to create Windows NT. Microsoft's latest Windows NT derived OS is Windows XP.
  • Windows 2000: 1999. What I consider to be the best release of Windows so far. But even then it isn't so great. It sold well.
  • Windows XP: 2001. Microsoft's current drug of choice. Comes in a number of varieties (Home, Server, Professional, Embedded) etc. See also; eXtraPants
  • __PocketPC 2002_: previously known as Windows CE, and renamed because we all called it WINCE.
