Windows XPsp1 was peak. No visual overhead, no surplus protection , nothing but plain interaction with a computer using only mouse

I have been a i3 user for a few years now, honestly, the only reason I still keep my mouse around is to occasionally play some video games.

Don't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure you're better than Windows XP! Even the best version of it!

That was the hearty chuckle that I needed after a very long day (and very long nap, so now I'm up in the wee hours kicking about on social media! Thanks for that!

I also tried to word it, but it was awful. Thanks for doing that for me!

Maybe in crazy but I preferred both ME and Vista over XP.

Vista's only real problem was that it was resource intensive and people tried to put it on older hardware that could technically run it, but not well. Which understandably caused a bad experience for a lot of people. My experience was on a new laptop that was designed with Vista in mind, and it was fine.

ME allegedly had a bunch of stability issues. Maybe i was just too young to notice, but I don't remember having problems with it as a kid. I was really disappointed when we "upgraded" to XP and lost most of the UI customization options. The rounded blue bars were so bland and boring.

WinME was a straight downgrade from Win98SE. I had to support a lot of peoples PCs privately at the time, and WinME was an unstable mess in comparison; the amount of undiagnosable bluescreens that just didn't occur on Win98 on the same hardware was infuriating; and the performance was worse in every instance.
