Windows 10 was the last Windows I'll use. Windows 7 was the last one I was happy with. Windows 98SE and XP, we had great times, didn't we? Miss you guys.
98 was not a great time. Illegal operations and blue screens as far as the eye could see. About the only good things were better networking and USB support.
Lol damn, haven't seen that one in a while. Always used to make me chuckle
SE wasn't as bad at least.
I miss the days of windows xp, that was middle school to early high school for me. It was around that time when I switched to mac.
Still have random memories of random windows stuff.
Fun fact: 7 was the last version MS produced under the injunction from the late 90s that prevented them from bundling required services with the OS. They actually had MS accounts (then called .NET Passports) ready to track activation and for login on XP but had to make them optional.
