[QUOTE="InsaneNutter, post: 7950543, member: 110636"] If i had to choose a favourite OS of all time i think it would be Windows XP. The customising / theme scene for XP was massive. It's the only OS where i've had custom themes, custom icons, custom lock screens, custom boot animations and custom mouse pointers. Everyone seemed to spend ages customising and tweaking XP back in the day, which actually made the "show us your desktop threads" on forums really interesting. I also liked how you could switch users and remain logged on, this was handy for MSN Messenger as I could remain signed in and get messages, even when someone else was using the PC. (Back then we had no smart phones and MSN was the Facebook / Whatsapp of the time everyone used) Another thing I liked was Remote Desktop, I could log on to my PC from elsewhere and with a patch not even log the person off who was actually sat on the PC at home using it. I could also use Internet Connection sharing on XP to share the internet to a PC I made out of old parts, which was great as back then routers at home we're not really a thing yet. (I think Windows 2000 / 98 might have done this to some degree, however it certainly worked better on XP). I've upgraded though every version of Windows since, I used betas of Vista and Windows 7 too, I used Windows 8 once 8.1 was out and upgraded to Windows 10 on release. 7 Would be a close second, then Windows 10 which I use today. Windows XP by far brought the most useful features to Windows at the time though and it amazed me just how long it got security updates for. [/QUOTE]
