    XP ruled idk what they’re on about. Windows 8 really began the death knell of Windows IMO. A new UI people didnt want or like forced down your throat. They started their new hideous and confusing design language, which led to the truly abhorrent Windows 10 half-baked replacement for the control panel. Then the ads. Spyware baked in. Vibe coded start menu that takes 300ms to open. Sigh.

      Yeah XP was great. I would even say Windows 7 was the pinnacle. The best modern Windows before it started to enshittify.

          Windows ME was the cancer of all windows variants. It was slower and less stable then w98, and it was slower and less stable then XP. I don’t know what they were thinking when throwing this abortion-type of os at us.

      Windows 8 with its over simplified UI style was to accommodate the fact that corporate users wanted to do RDP over slow connections from laptops made between 2007 and 2012, remember how fucked those things were?
