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.
Microsoft mjght have been better than thwy are now then, but they were NEVER fun and cool. Dont be gaslit.
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.
