Hell, i refuse to move off win7. And given the eavesdropping behaviour of my laptop even after a deshittification scrub, that's not gonna change any time soon.
Windows 7 is where Microsoft peaked imo.
98/XP/7 was a glorious time. Then they decided way too late that they wanted to be tabletgardenwalledadmachines.
Not on fucking hardware i built you don't.
While windows 95, windows Me… and windows 11…
95 was fuckin' revolutionary back in the day. Quickly became old man yelling at cloud tho.
Yes it was but it was not quite finished that’s why 98 came out so quickly (for the time)
I think you're mixed up a bit. 98 was the unfinished beast, that's why 98SE
I Beta tested 98 and was shocked that they cut the gold release when they did, they were still fixing showstoppers pretty regularly at that point during development.
I remembering loving Windows 2000. Where's the love for 2000? It's probably because that's when I started really getting into things, and by that I mean looking at porn (12-13 years old), and so I needed to figure out how to unfuck my parents computer many, many times.
2k was a server build primarily, so to put it on a desktop you were already talking to people who knew what the fuck they were doing. It was pretty damned solid. I also have a fondness for 2k8.
2k12 just pisses me off because it's win10 in a stupid hat making server noises. Get that shit out of a production environment
Vista, you forgot vista...
We don’t talk about Vista no no no no we don’t talk about Vistaaaaa.
Is 7 still getting security patches?
officially no, even ESU ended jan 2023, but you can get around the MSE ones by a manual install. I've also found they allow for extraordinary ones like CVE-2023-29336
