I recently found the YT channel Michael MJD, and it has made me realize how fun and cool Microsoft was in the XP and 7 eras.

It was just before the cloud ruined everything and it was before the curse of the flat UI design.

It was a more fun time.

Windows 7 is the prettiest Windows ever made, with XP running Royale theme a close second.

They were the best Windows versions, but Microsoft was not cool. They were still monopolistic and anti-competitive as fuck. They still actively killed smaller companies, they still bribed politicians, etc.

If you dig deep enough into the internet you’ll find people who have been complaining about Microsoft since the dos days, and many of their complaints and fears have come true.

Spot the bootlicker 😉

There’s nothing wrong with pointing out that a monopoly with a history of illegal anticompetitive behaviour isn’t/wasn’t cool.

They didn’t congratulate themselves, and the only person who brought up Linux here is you.
