    I miss Windows 7, it was the peak when it comes compatibility and light resource usage. Now i’m suffering with 100% disk usage. Lol

    I’m surprised that Windows 10 is bigger than Windows 7, companies, schools, etc. never update the PCs so i thought 7 was the bigger one

    Users will soon say goodbye to the third legendary system in a few years. Microsoft Windows XP (From 10/25/2001 to 4/8/2014), Microsoft Windows 7 (From 7/22/2009 to 1/14/2020) It’s time for you Windows 10 to say goodbye. (From 29/07/2015 to 14/10/2025).

    Windows XP is so freaking slowwwwwwwwwwwww!
    I used a computer with Windows XP & it was so slow that I bashed it until it is died.

    If they didn’t stop to support windows 7 and said win 10 is the last windows version (which is not). It will still the best.



  18. podda production on July 20, 2021 at 3:11 am

    My os is windows 11 ❤



  19. Volejonny _ on July 20, 2021 at 3:14 am

    Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 aren’t bad in my opinion 🙂



  20. RedStar Entertainment on July 20, 2021 at 3:14 am

    If you make me Microsoft’s CEO today the very first thing I would do is REVIVE the dead Windows XP back to life. A complete new 2022-23 Edition. Everything will remain same like looks, feel, sounds etc. What would change would he upgraded security patches, a modern feel given to the existing interface design and a much faster XP with constant upgrades. ❤️



  21. AA-VFX Motion Backgrounds on July 20, 2021 at 3:15 am

    WinXP could’ve still dominated the market hadn’t they stopped supporting it. It was simple, stable and fast with the best interface for all ages and users, imho. Anyone could have navigated to everywhere with a simple click. Nowadays, I get phonecalls from my family asking me the same questions like: "Where did they put…", "How do I…" Etc, where in older versions of Windows they managed just fine.



  22. Panyam Srinandan on July 20, 2021 at 3:15 am

    win 7 the beast



  23. FusionGamerElite on July 20, 2021 at 3:17 am

    Still on Win 7, that win 10 UI is a fucking disgrace



  24. Владислав Загревский on July 20, 2021 at 3:18 am

    Windows XP& Win7 are the best OS



  25. Joseph Wallace on July 20, 2021 at 3:18 am

  26. Mohamed Aref on July 20, 2021 at 3:20 am

    RIP Windows XP



  27. Mentalcel Stefan on July 20, 2021 at 3:21 am

    Windows 98 and Windows XP forever in my heart

    Note, that Windows XP became _more_ popular, then Windows 7 and 8 were unwantedly updadted to 10.



  39. Mirco Battistini on July 20, 2021 at 3:34 am

    RIP Windows 2000 🙁
    Nice to see in 2012 Windows NT 4.0 surpass Windows 2000 and it’s strange that Win Me was less than Win 95 at beginning of video, maybe Win98, 98SE and ME were the same in 98 bar?



  40. Data Is Beautiful on July 20, 2021 at 3:34 am

    Good lord. Windows 7, the legendery OS, makes you feel like you have an intel core i7 on your i3 device. Good times.
