Scoring for the best Windows versions
Windows 1
[1985]Best feature
https://www.drakola.com/up/uploads/155217029626121.gif
Graphical user interface means it was easy for home computers. Allowed developers to easily design applications for Windows
Negative
Demanding hardware, dependant on mouse-orientated interface, lack of dedicate software, poor performance
Rating: 8/10
Windows 2
[1987]Best feature
Allowed more than one application to run at once. Introduced short-cuts. Introduce ‘minimize and maximize’. Introduced desktop icons. Faster and much more powerful
Negative
Still very dependant on the DOS system and still hadn't passed the 1 megabyte mark in terms of memory
Rating: 6/10
Windows 3
[1990]Best feature
Allowed more than one application to run at once. Introduced short-cuts. Introduce ‘minimize and maximize’. Introduced desktop icons. Faster and much more powerful
Negative
Limited for the home use market, where most games and entertainment programs continued to require raw DOS access
Rating: 5/10
Windows 3.1
[1992]Best feature
Allowed more than one application to run at once. Introduced short-cuts. Introduce ‘minimize and maximize’. Introduced desktop icons. Faster and much more powerful
Negative
Limited for the home use market, where most games and entertainment programs continued to require raw DOS access
Rating: 7/10
Windows 95
[1995]Best feature
Introduced Internet Explorer. Introduced the ‘start-button’. ‘windows explorer’ replaced the start menu. Simplified ‘plug-and-play’ features
Negative
Multi-tasking was glitchy. There was security issues with file and printer sharing. There are also security issues with varying applications; prone to viruses
Rating: 5/10
Windows 98
[1998]Best feature
Introduction of Outlook, Microsoft Chat, Windows Address Book, back and forward navigation buttons, image thumbnails, folders, famous ‘Windows Start-Up sound’
Negative
Plug and Play had big issues. USB devices never worked properly. Virus software was hard to install which was an issue as 98 was prone to viruses
Rating: 7/10
Windows 2000
[1999]Best feature
Ability to launch multiple programs without closing the menu. It was incredibly stable. Were able to set profiles for different users who accessed a pc running the OS
Negative
Requires high spec hardware so a lot of users had to upgrade their machines. Log-on authentication controlled file access meaning files could not be shared between accounts
Rating: 9/10
Windows ME
[2000]Best feature
Made more simple to use for ‘home computer users’. Removed certain enterprise-orientated features which gave it faster loading/booting speeds
Negative
Can’t handle more than 512 MB of RAM/ Dubbed ‘Windows Mistake Edition’. It was unstable and kept crashing
Rating: 2/10
Windows XP
[2001]Best feature
Included additional multimedia features such as ability to record, watch DVD’s and listen to music. Extremely user friendly and stable
Negative
It was expensive to buy. It was a prime target for malware creators and the security was bad. It could only support up to 4GB of system memory, meaning you couldn't run applications that require a lot of system memory
Rating: 6/10
Windows Vista
[2006]Benefits
It was very secure, including: parental controls, encryption features and has an advanced firewall. It had enhanced video quality and photo gallery. It had a task bar and thumbnails
Negative
It needed a demanding computer to run with high memory. Doesn’t really work on anything less than 2GB of RAM. High graphics card requirement. Visually a bit too dull
Rating: 7/10
Windows 7
[2009]Benefits
Designed for touch screen interaction. Very fast. Includes ‘Windows defender’ which is the very good protection system. Supports virtual hard disks. Customizable and easy to use
Negative
It required high RAM to work. It was very expensive. Older software was incompatible with Windows 7
Rating: 5/10
Windows 8
[2012]Benefits
It booted up really fast. Windows store has a number of apps that are built for Windows 8. Supports NFC: wireless printing/payment
Negative
Very difficult to swap between screens as no alt-tab function. Doesn’t support any flash content on Tablet PC. Metro interface does not work well on desktop and it is not user friendly
Rating: 7/10
Windows 8.1
[2013]Benefits
Fast boost mode enabling your PC to boot up in under 4 seconds. The start button makes a reappearance. Windows media centre offers a wider range of audio-visual file types. Improved firewall and security features
Negative
Many pre-installed apps are not used at all and use up quite a lot of hard disk space. System requirements are quite high. The start screen works better with touch devices
Rating: 8.5/10
Windows 10
[2015 -]Benefits
Cortana voice assistant integrated into the browser. Easy social media integration. Upgrade from Windows 7, 8.1 and Windows phone 8.1. Great for gaming thanks to Direct X 12 API. Introduction of Xbox app (see what your friends are doing online). Comes with two browsers: Spartan & Internet Explorer
