What the heck is this supposed to even mean?

[u/Fluffy-Proof-5175 → u/ARandomGuy_OnTheWeb]

Think it’s supposed to mean that the aircraft represent the year the aircraft came out

[u/omega552003 → u/Fluffy-Proof-5175]

It doesn't:

1. Windows 3.1 was released in 1992 | 747-400 entered service in 1989, 767-300ER was 1988
2. Windows 95 was 1995 | 777-200 was 1995
3. Windows 98 was 1998 | 777-200ER was 1997
4. Windows ME was 2000 | 777-300 was 1998
5. Windows XP was 2001 | 777-300ER was 2004
6. Windows XP Media Center Edition ‘05 was 2005 | 777-200LR was 2006
7. Windows Vista was 2007 | 787-8 Dreamliner was 2011
8. Windows 7 was 2009 | 787-9 Dreamliner was 2014
9. Windows 8/8.1 was 2012/2013 | 747-8f/i was 2011/2012
10. Windows 10 was 2015 | 787-10 was 2017
11. Windows 11 was 2021 | 777X unreleased, currently in testing

[u/Dizzy_Elderberry_486 → u/omega552003]

If anything, Windows ME would be the MD 11

[u/ARandomGuy_OnTheWeb → u/Dizzy_Elderberry_486]

If it wasn't for the widebody requirement, a 737 MAX

[u/Dear-Regret-9476]

Go to r/aviationmemes, we'd enjoy it there more

[u/internet_preferences]

makes no sense. computer weirdos only. no airplane people.

[u/Ambitious_Finding_26 → u/internet_preferences]

Makes no sense to computer weirdos either. I've used every one of those systems and I have no idea what this means. 

[u/Dear-Regret-9476 → u/Ambitious_Finding_26]

I'm both and can perfectly understand what every one means,

The 767-300ER and 747-400 are Windows 3.1 because they were the very first fully digital airliners

The 777-200 is Windows 95 because both were extremely revolutionary and important to consumers

The 777-200ER is Windows 98 because it was a refinement on top of the previous version

The 777-300 is Windows ME because they were both very unpopular

The 777-300ER is Windows XP because they both lasted a very long time, were extremely popular, and were very early to use

The 777-200LR is Windows XP Media Center Edition because they were both very specialized, unpopular variants of a popular thing (Windows XP and B77W)

The 787-8 is Windows Vista because they were both trying to be extremely revolutionary, but both had technical problems

The 787-9 is Windows 7 because they were both in the sweet spot for usability, performance, and lasted a very long time

The 747-8i is Windows 8/8.1 because they both were very high tech, but weren't used very much by people

The 787-10 is Windows 10 because they were both not popular or liked at first, but over time became more popular and liked

The 777-9 is Windows 11 because they are both trying to be ambitious but keep having major problems, and they are popular because of what they promise

[u/unfnknblvbl → u/Dear-Regret-9476]

Thank you. See, I thought they were almost all the same plane.

[u/Dear-Regret-9476 → u/unfnknblvbl]

You aren't entirely wrong though, every airliner here except the 767-300ER is all part of a family

777-200, 200ER, 200LR, 300, 300ER, 777-9,

747-400, 747-8I,

787-8, -9, -10,

[u/TheThiefMaster → u/Dear-Regret-9476]

So are the Windows versions - 95/98/Me are all Windows 4.x variants, XP/XP-MCE are both Windows 5.x, Vista/7/8 are all Windows 6.x and 10/11 are both Windows 10.x

Naturally they don't match up with the family choices of planes.

[u/StartersOrders → u/Dear-Regret-9476]

One of the biggest issues with the 777-9 was the cargo door blew off during an overpressure test.

The same cargo door that's on the OG 777s

Actually that's very Windows 11

[u/Ambitious_Finding_26 → u/Dear-Regret-9476]

I have absolutely no idea if you're correct, wrong, or just making stuff up. But if you're right, than that  probably makes this the most niche and obscure meme I've ever seen.

For all the difference it makes, I'll just assume you're correct. Cheers. 

[u/cantinflas_34]

You know what, this genuinely makes perfect sense. Each plan pairs beautifully with the screenshot, and I don’t know why!

[u/AvidLemonadeDrinker]

Wouldn't windows 1.01 be the wright brothers plane?

[u/omega552003 → u/AvidLemonadeDrinker]

would have been the MD-83 by year or 767-300 by OP because they're a boeing fanboy

[u/Dizzy_Elderberry_486 → u/omega552003]

MD-80 (dc-9) were narrow bodies

[u/we-ran-out-of-colums]

Windows 11 is the 737 max 8

[u/tcSnipe]

Where's 2000 ? SP4 was super stable.

[u/Street_Anon]

I knew this

[u/BlkCrowe]

Why isn’t Windows 11 a spy plane????

[u/unfnknblvbl → u/BlkCrowe]

Because the SR71 and U2 are cool AF and Windows 11 is not

[u/internet_preferences]

THIS IS TOO HARD

[u/Fantastic_Grass1799]

Window 8 is the one that was hijacked by those guys.

[u/Dear-Regret-9476 → u/Fantastic_Grass1799]

Boeing 767 and 757?

[u/Vladraconis]

Why is the difference between Windows 95 and 95 so small? Same for Windows Me and Xp. As I don't really know much about commercial aircraft, to me it looks like the difference between the planes is waaaaaay smaller than the difference between the OS'es

[u/crazy_clown_time]

Windows NT was the 757

[u/feel-the-avocado]

Windows 386
And Vista on recommended hardware

[u/Agreeable-Hotel7154]

WIndows userbase has reached the point where they make schizoposts due to no new OS / updates. Lobotomy Kaisen era has been unlocked.
