RELATED: Windows 3.0 Is 30 Years Old: Here's What Made It Special #9: Windows 8 (2012)Ĭhange is hard, and Windows 8 made a radical departure from tradition that left many people upset. It also introduced Solitaire, which doesn’t hurt. It also included a stunning new graphical interface with a 3D-shaded look and a suite of gorgeous icons designed by graphic design legend Susan Kare.
Windows 3.0 unified the confusingly named Windows 2.x family of products (Windows 2.03, Windows/286, Windows/386, etc.) into a single environment that worked on machines ranging from low-speed 8088s to those with 386 CPUs. With that out of the way, let’s get ranking! #10: Windows 3.0 (1990) Mobile operating systems like Windows CE, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile 10, and Windows RT are another beast entirely, as are server versions of Windows like Windows Server 2003. To keep things simple, we only considered desktop versions of Windows. No, this list will be far more fun than that. In fact, if you wanted a list of the “best” versions of Windows, you might get a list of Windows versions with the most features, the least bugs, and the most up-to-date security-in other words, a list of Windows versions in chronological order (with a couple of hiccups). That’s the recipe at play here in this ranking, which is not (and never could be) a definitive list to objectively prove which version of Windows is “the best.”
When someone says that something was the “greatest,” it suggests that it had a combination of legacy, impact, innovation, and capability for its time.
