I never had 95, my family couldn't afford a PC back then. But getting out families first PC running Windows ME and spending so many afternoons trying to fix it is that got me into IT support.

Moving to Windows XP was a huge step up and moving to Windows 7 was another step up.

Microsoft has never ever made an OS as good as Windows 7.

7 and XP are equal until in XP you try to drag a full screen window and cannot.

I'm on 10 LTSC IoT and I think (Thanks to people on the Linux sub) I'll be moving to Linux mint Cinnamon.

I agree, windows 7 was the best OS microsoft ever made.. maybe the best OS ever.

It was the peak, and microsoft could do nothing to improve on it..which is why every OS afterwards has relied on slop and creepware.

Best OS ever? Nahhh. I don’t think it’s controversial to say modern linux distros have eclipsed 7.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

No they havent.

Linux has made astonishing progress, and it is in a state where it is every day usable by alot of people, but its not at the polish and usability of windows 7.
