- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Software peaked around 2008. And that's a looong time ago now.
Yes there has been a few improvements since then, but nothing that can really be said to compensate for the massive enshittification of performance, basic quality control, UI, UX, pricing as well as the anti-user practices that have become commonplace.
Sad I never got to experience it.
The 2008 financial crises rendered me homeless through my teenage years and my early adult years. I went from experiencing Windows XP/Mac OSX 10.4 straight to Windows 8.1 (I just missed Vista and was quickly introduced to Windows 10).
You missed Windows 7 because you were homeless? Bruh.
Hope you're doing better. At least it's the golden age of Linux right now!
Yeah, ditched Windows 10 as soon as I could. Most of the tools I use have Linux native versions.
