    I think Windows 7 was the best operating system yet. Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 are good but they lost their transparency and glow, and that's what I like about Windows 7 and Vista. But I think 7 is just a bit better than Vista.

    Windows 8 was the first OS I recorded her trying. Infact this channels inspiration started off with "Diana hates windows 8 and will never upgrade from windows xp. Can we find an alternative for Diana so she can update from xp without moving to windows 8?" This lead us to ubuntu which she liked more than windows 8 but since she said "windows 8 seems like its the first version of windows and every version has been an improvement on it" I got her to try windows 1.01... Then we kept doing more OS's.

    What I am referring to is windows longhorn before the development reset in 2004. Check out the "development of windows vista" page on wikipedia. Longhorn started as incremental updates to windows xp and eventually became its own OS "longhorn". This OS became unstable by 2004 so they decided to scrap it and restart making the successor to xp. The new "from scratch" version of longhorn was still called longhorn for a few more builds until they renamed it vista closer to release.

    I try to avoid telling my mum about the operating system lots but since she finished the tasks in 2 minutes I thought "why not tell her about windows 7" (the operating system she wants to upgrade to). The only reason I did it for this operating system is because I used windows 7 myself and it's my favorite operating system. Since I know so much about it that made it easy to share info and win7 features with my mum. I don't know about linux so I would never be able to do the same with linux.

  • @clemstevenson

    Still using that OS. Windows 7 works just fine, but no more updates for later computer builds. I tried upgrading to Windows 10 on the Windows 7 machine, but that upgrade had instability issues as well as early problems with drivers. I have a new computer running Windows 10, but that is a straight Windows 10 install no upgrade. No crash problems/no conflicts. Windows 7 probably wouldn't have the drivers for that computer, anyway.

    Build 4093 (build date of August 19, 2004) - It was the last build compiled before the development reset. Considered highly unstable, it contained Sidebar, WinFS, and an Avalon-based Windows Movie Maker. There was an Avalon-based Display Properties control panel applet hidden in the SYSTEM32 folder, similar to the one in Build 3683.

    I put Win7 Ultimate on my older desktop a few months before end of support and was amazed at how much faster and snappier it was compared to 10 and 11 on the same machine. Even Windows 8.1 was a lot better for performance than 10 and 11. Such a shame we have to abandon these older better Operating systems.

    Arch was a bad choice for this video series. We only ever test operating systems out of the box which is why I didn't install a GUI on arch. The user interface is mainly what these videos test and if we installed an interface on arch then she would not be testing arch, she would be testing the user interface installed on arch.
    If arch linux by default had a preinstalled program allowing you to install a user interface ultra easily we would have done that... But my mum didn't find that feature.

      Because it's really stable and reliable. And it had the first *modern* appearance of the windows where as anything before had a grey 90s style windows. Windows XP was bad in it's first release, where as after the Service Packs came out, it was better.

    • @davidhubbard8353
      @davidhubbard8353 9 років тому +3

      ***** Vista is not bad and never was. People really complained about UAC and Digital Driver Signing. Both which could easily be fixed. I never had a problem with it. The specs of computers were really getting advanced at that time, so it was about time for a new computer, and they weren't that expensive. I have never got a blue screen of death while using Vista, so I don't know why people don't like it. It's just like saying Windows 95 was bad just to keep the entire rhythm of good and bad. Kinda goes like this:
      Windows 1:Good
      Windows 2:Bad
      Windows 3 (3.1):Good
      Windows 95: Bad
      Windows 98: Good
      Windows ME (which was after Windows 2K):Bad
      Windows XP: Good
      Windows Vista: Bad
      Windows 7: Good
      Windows 8: Bad
      People just find stuff to complain about. They would complain if there was nothing to complain about.
