Microsoft takes tool to check Windows 11 compatibility offline – Computer – News

Sigh, you can’t and shouldn’t look like that. You forget to take versions with you just to make your list correct and gives a colored display.

XP was not fine at all. It was met with a lot of criticism. It required a fairly powerful and modern system, many hardware was not well supported, was not stable and was full of security holes. It was only with SP2 and SP3 that it became a solid OS and it owes its reputation mainly to the late arrival of a successor. Had MS been able to release the planned successor in time, we would have lumped XP in the same heap as Me.

Vista has had a similar bad start, but for essentially the same reasons as XP. Major adjustments that made many drivers incompatible. Almost all problems were eventually solved. The only thing they could never fix in Vista because it was too deep in the OS were the slow copy jobs.

And where is Windows 8.1 on your list? That too has been a full-fledged release. And although you can say a lot about the start menu with Windows 8, it was otherwise a really good OS with little to complain about. Disastrous? So I didn’t think so.

And Windows 10 fine? In the early years, and still today, I heard many complaints about it.
