XP was complete garbage for many reasons. Security being the number one. Multi-user being number two (or lack thereof). And boy did it look nasty. I think you have nostalgia.
But my main point is microsoft began everything that people hate about it today in XP. People seem to have forgotten all push back there was at the time.
The only thing I miss about XP was that if it was at a hotel or internet cafe, no matter what they did, you could be admin in about 10 minutes or less. Which was always handy to have.
XP was honestly probably the most stable Windows version MS has ever produced.
That would likely be 10. The mandate in 2017 to break up services and require that no one thing could bring down windows made a big difference. Doing this required using more memory, which is one of the reasons it hadnt been done before.
I think you are still being nostalgic about XP! Even after SP3, we called a USB device plug and pray. There were drivers that could take down the whole system. Huge security flaws that never were resolved. A simple palm pilot plugged in would cause a BSOD fairly often. I seem to remember microsoft themselves saying that it could never be stable, the architecture would never be able to be successfully patched.

Eh, this was initially true about XP. By the time SP3 came out, XP was honestly probably the most stable Windows version MS has ever produced.

That’s fair. You’re probably right. So, what makes Windows 10 the magnum opus?
