Microsoft keeps releasing new versions of Windows.

They say each version is better than the previous one.

Is there some truth to this ? Or is this mostly marketing bullshit to push people to spend money?

    If you worked with Windows NT you’d see that there hasn’t been a lot of change. Probably the biggest code changes include control panel and start menu.

        Win98 SP2 and Windows 7 for me. Windows NT blew my mind. You are telling me that an application could crash without compromising the stability of the rest of the system??? Witchcraft!! (And I know other non-Win systems that did this existed long ago before Windows, but I didn’t know in my teen years.)

        I liked Windows XP though I hated how insecure it was.

      Heterogenous scheduler support for big.LITTLE CPUs seems like a big deal to me, especially with the Advent of P+E core Intels.
