windows xp had a third service pack? never used it
Austin Robinson
Yup, and it has some fixes that were not shipped in other patches. It is actually really recommended to use it if you ever do use XP for anything.

What the hell was the difference between Win2k and Win ME? The NT Kernel? I lived through that time period and I legit thought they were the same thing; that ME was slang for 2000. I jumped from Win98SE to WinXP because the one box I saw that had ME ran like absolute dogshit.
Liam Morgan
Why would someone not use the latest version of the Linux Kernel? Honest question, might be retarded but I don't know.
Jackson Sullivan
Latest version is too bloated

>xp >2000 to retards and mutts

>Including windows server I'd argue that that's a seperated thing. It's not an OS intended for the avarage consumer.
Grayson Hall
>What the hell was the difference between Win2k and Win ME? The NT Kernel? 2k was basically a 9x skin for NT. No DOS base (DOS-based programs like older games won't run), but superior in every other aspect.
Brayden Anderson
Windows 2000 was NT. Same as NT 4.0 and XP. Yes, it had the NT kernel. Windows Me was DOS/Win9x. Same as Windows 95/98. It ran on the DOS kernel with extensions.

Vista is unironically better than XP. XP's lack of support (and therefore security updates) has rendered it unsafe to use on any machine that's connected to the internet.

e.t.c.?
Charles Harris
If we argue like that, neither was NT 3.1.
Thanks for contributing.
Juan Richardson
But 2000 was better than both.
Luis White
Linux had started in '92, Windows in '85. And it is not correct comparing Windows (the DE for DOS) and kernel. Comparing MS-DOS and GNU/Linux would be more correct.
Jose Foster
I'm not sure what to tell you about Vista security updates either, user.

>XP's lack of support (and therefore security updates) has rendered it unsafe to use on any machine that's connected to the internet. Can't believe people on Jow Forums actually think that way.
Evan Ross
That would still be wrong. DOS is an OS. It's kernel is in IO.SYS, OS in MSDOS.SYS and shell interpreter in Command.com, rest of it is in it's own folder usually named DOS and not mandatory for basic usage.
GNU/Linux is just GNU utilities with Linux kernel. Debian would be an example of an OS based on Linux kernel.
Isaiah Mitchell
I'm not sure if you're just googling random shit or what, but Windows 1.0 thru 3.0 did not come with PC-DOS but MS-DOS. I have all original install media for them right here. PC-DOS only came with IBM's own PCs.
Eli Johnson
Let me interject a moment. What you are referring as Windows is in fact Windows/DOS and Windows/NT, or as I've recently taken to call it Windows plus DOS, and Windows NT. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another proprietary component of a fully functioning Windows/DOS or Windows/NT system made useful by the kernel corelibs, hardware drivers, and vital system components comprising a full OS. Many computer users run a version of the Windows/NT or Windows/DOS system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Windows/NT or Windows/DOS which is widely used today is often called Windows, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the MS-DOS or NT system, developed by the Microsoft. There really is a Windows, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows is the shell: the program in the system that draws pretty GUI. The shell is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Windows is normally used in combination with the MS-DOS or NT operating system: the whole system is basically DOS or NT with Windows added, or Windows/NT or Windows/DOS. All the so-called "Windows".
Skipped a few windows. Off the top of my head, server 2012.

It's 30 years old already. What makes it "New"?

The tracking and backdoors

>2k was basically a 9x skin for NT. I always saw it the other way around; ME being a 2k skin for 9x. NT 4.0 already looked like 9x.
William Johnson
>Windows NT >NT = New Technology I never understood this. They hired the VMS team to reimplement VMS but with Windowsisms and backwards compatibility.
Jeremiah Phillips
compile it without bloat

VMS+1=WNT
Matthew Moore
So? 2000 isn't supported.
Eh? It's still supported and it doesn't have any of the telemetry crap, right?
Do tell? Security on Windows needs all of the help that it gets. I fucking dare you to take a fresh, totally unupdated Windows 7 machine out on the internet. It won't last a week. I doubt that a fully updated XP will even make it a month.
Matthew Fisher
Windows 7 SP1 is missing too
Jordan Thomas
Not completely. Most increment according to a scheme, which are typically not arbitrary.
