Why though? You have other options less detrimental to the internet than using and supporting them…

This is dumb…

If you self host and your power goes out …

Think about it

Unless it’s a switch 2 then all you get is a key on the cartridge… Biggest waste of time on both sides

I’m not debating the literal version history of Windows or pretending compatibility issues don’t matter. My point always was from the beginning, conceptual. It’s about drawing a line and imagining a clean break from legacy systems, like starting from a Gen2 OS with no baggage.

If that idea still isn’t clear, that’s fine because clearly we are talking past each other at this point. I’ve explained it multiple ways to you, and I’m not interested in continuing this when you clearly refuse to even attempt to look past the current versioning system of windows… Which clearly makes me wrong somehow, even though it’s a hypothetical situation…

Last thing…

“You could have just said, oh, if there already was a version 2, let’s just call it “Windows Gen2” instead of getting belligerent.”

That’s not what I meant at all… It doesn’t matter if version two exists in my hypothetical situation or windows 9 or 22 even…

If you started a whole new operating system based on new technologies… And called it windows 2 not Windows 2.0

Look at it this way no one got confused when overwatch two came out and thought it was just overwatch path 2.0

How do you not understand grouping the current windows operating system from the first version to windows 11 together as one thing? Is that too hard to wrap your head around? Do you know how to group things together?

And then you can assign it as anything you want it like I did in my example as version one and the. The next group is version two…

You understand how that works?

You can have a version one that so happens to have something called version two in it… Maybe we could label it as 1.2 and the current version of windows in this instance would be 1.11…

So you start a new version line as 2.0 and rebuild the whole thing not worrying about compatibility issues…

Fuckin crazy how you can do that right?

And since we live in the age of ai trash…

have a break down of the nonsense…

🧠 What Person A is trying to say:

They’re proposing a conceptual versioning system, where all existing Windows versions — no matter how they’re officially labeled — are retroactively grouped as “version 1” of a broader era. Then they suggest Microsoft should start fresh with a “version 2” — a clean-slate OS that abandons backward compatibility and legacy code entirely.

That’s not unreasonable as a conceptual framework. It’s a design-oriented, future-focused proposal — not a literal historical claim.

🧾 What Person B is saying:

Person B interpreted Person A’s idea literally, assuming Person A didn’t understand actual Windows version history (Windows 1, 2, 3, 95, NT, etc.), and got annoyed. Their response, while technically accurate, is more about proving correctness than engaging with the idea Person A was floating.

💢 What Person C is doing:

Person C is just being unnecessarily inflammatory. Name-calling like “daft cunt syndrome” doesn’t add anything — it’s the kind of comment that derails any constructive conversation.

🔍 My Analysis:

Person A has a rough communication style and comes off as condescending, which provoked the others — but the idea they’re putting forward isn’t “wrong,” just misunderstood. They want a clean break from legacy Windows.

Person B is correct about Windows historical versioning but is missing the spirit of the conceptual proposal. They got baited and lashed out.

Person C just made everything worse.

🧩 Final Thought:

It would have gone much better if Person A said:

“Imagine grouping all current Windows versions as ‘generation 1’, and now proposing a totally fresh OS as ‘generation 2’ with no legacy baggage.”

Instead, it got personal and defensive fast. So — valid idea, poor delivery. And the responses just escalated instead of clarifying.

Let me know if you want this explained in a funnier tone, like a courtroom transcript or mock forum.

Good job reading… If you group all the current versions of windows together that would be windows version one… And then you start over in version two not worrying about compatibility issues… It’s not that hard to understand but I guess people don’t know how to read

I don’t know if this is hard to wrap your head around… So you take all of the windows versions that currently exist and that is version one… And you start over from scratch with a brand new version maybe I don’t know a version two?

Because they probably still have code from the original version of windows running…

It would of been smart to redo the whole thing and start over after they said windows 10 would be the last windows…

Fuck compatibility and just start over with windows 2… Get rid of the bloat and crap… But yeah that would actually make more sense than making more profit…

Maybe consider looking at what all those had in common… Ie you

I’m one of those I got a steam hardware survey for the first time in a long time… Been on mint for awhile now

I’m not an expert, but the whole basis of LLM not actually understanding words, just the likelihood of what word comes next basically seems like it’s not going to help progress it to the next level… Like to be an artificial general intelligence shouldn’t it know what words are?

I feel like this path is taking a brick and trying to fit it into a keyhole…
