I disagree.
- XP felt like it was mine.
- 7 felt like it was mine
- 8 felt like they were trying to force something on me.
- 10 felt like they were pushing bloatware like a cell phone. At least l could remove some of that?
- 11 feels like they decided it’s their computer, I’m just renting time in it by watching ads. You could remove half the programs by default and I would not miss any of them. Do I need a version of minesweeper with micro transactions? No!

XP wasn’t yours when MS pushed an update without permission or announcement.

Windows 2000 was the last Windows that I felt I could just slap on any old hardware.

Which is weird, since Win2k definitely had lower hardware compatibility than XP, Vista, 7, etc.
It wasn’t consumer-focused and just didn’t have the driver compatibility from vendors yet.

Quite the contrary, it had exemplary compatibility, including Plug’n’Play and wide native USB support.
