Worst Operating System you ever used?

Post Reply New Topic

You're using a Geforce 6200 as a GPU, of course it's going to run crap for you.

It was a hell of a lot more stable than Windows 3.1 and 9X.

Comparing something that sucks to something that sucks even more doesn't mean the thing that sucks less doesn't suck.

I've decided to scapegoat Vista for my recent computer complete and total clusterf**k (which culminated in a reformatting).

Burn mutha!

I just happened to like NT because I used it for several years and got accustomed to it. Windows NT wasn't bloated with cute crap or anything. It was just a Rock Solid OS that was good for Office Work, Security and Web Browsing. Sort of how linux is king right now for that same purpose.

Lunix. I hate it. It's never going to go off anyway since you need Windoze to run it, so you might as well use the best OS in existence (why else would it be so popular).

It had DOS 3.2 with Windows 1.0 on a 286 (it was donated to an astronomy club I worked in). The computer was a heap of bolts, it had an external hard drive, not that it was supposed to be an external HD, there was simply no room left inside the computer, so the HD was balanced precariously next to the case, and held by some blue tack.

One day an error came up in Windows - "Hard Drive read/write failure". I thought the HD broke. No, it was simply full up, there was no warning that the 5 megabyte HD was filling up, it just crashed the OS. I had to delete files using DOS.

P.S. Windows 1.0 was a worse version of Mac classic OS, which it was a clone.

Explain this totally nonsensical statement.What does windows have to do with running linux?

I did not find it incredibly stable.

Odd, it's pretty stable for me.

What version? What apps? We ran 4 NT3.51 servers in production for over a year without maintanence (reboots included). They were running as authentication servers and processed an average of 400 requests/sec each during that timeframe.

windows vista is probably the worst, especially when transferring files but I have put peazip on it to fix that
Windows XP is the best, along with NT and 2000

Versados by a big margin. In case you are wondering, it was Motorola's operating system for the 68000 family in the later half of the 1980s.

ReactOS. I know it's in alpha stage, but it's horrible right now. Luckily, I was running it from a LiveCD. Didn't want to recognize my mouse and video card. Right and I mean RIGHT after it booted it crashed. It's got me wondering how much trouble it would cause if it was actually installed on an HDD.

vista. I'm not sure it would be possible to design a crappier OS. I had my computer taken back and downgraded to XP (or should I say majorly upgraded) because of all the annoyances, like it automatically closing all my windows without warning anytime a new update was available, but when I tried to close something, it would pop up a window asking me what I wanted to do instead of letting of just closing the window/program I had just told it to close. I also was forbidden from seeing any of the settings that I had permission to change! and I wasn't permitted to download anything directly from microsofts website because it had marked it as a site with a security problem. And its so unstable you have to wonder how it got on the market in the first place.

There are 2 kinds of computer owners in this world - those who can use a computer and those who have vista
