I heard it has backdoors built into it that CIA and Mossad can use to spy on you

fuck Microsoft for violating human rights. Fuck their shit.
Windows went downhill after XP. Barring obviously necessary things (which arguably haven't all been fulfiled, even now), the bells and whistles and cosmetic and interactive changes made in subsequent versions are probably net negative effect.
Unbalanced changes to UX/UI and other design decisions that I can understand (after all, "things have got to change", and you've got to keep running just to keep standing still against 'progress' in the world of GUIs) but dislike. Not that XP was perfect, but it was the apex of workable in a modern world without being made too abstract and dumbed down for 'dumb users'.
I write this on a machine running Win11. Now they've even ruined bog-standard Notepad and tried to add in "AI" to it (and everything else), and I've had to fight the settings /hard/ in order to remove as many of the 'optional extras' that they put into the system.
I always called it Fisher Price, personally. (Really, there's absolutely no need for rounded buttons, except to show off that you can do transparent overlays.)
I still use it.
XP and 7 were the best
Literally nobody uses Linux outside of mentioning it in a shit post in some thread come on
I still use 2K.
Runs a dream on just 64MB of RAM... (Well, it's a bit more iffy with USB than I'd like. But, for what I use it for it works quite nicely, whirring away in the corner.)
only years later with SP2 and SP3, it was utter ass at launch and for a long time until they addressed many issues with it
Better than Windows ME, and more reliable than Vista.
Seriously, no way would either one of those outdated operating systems run Sophisticated gaming or vids
Well, *maybe* RuneScape 2.5 on Vista, but certainly not 3. Absolutely not Minecraft.
wow
Backdoor
Computers back then just had a open front door.
That's Windows 7, and every other OS after it.
No. It and 2000 killed a wealth of great dos software.

You can still run any DOS program you like in DOSbox. There's also the open source FreeDOS operating system that's still continually maintained. Microsoft also even released a lot of versions of MS-DOS as open source and you can do stuff with that freely.
So there are tons of options for running DOS stuff these days if you want to. Its no more difficult to use these things than DOS itself ever was.
Windows NT onwards didn't kill DOS. It just ended native support for it, but you still can run all that shit. For all I know, some devs out there may even be programming new DOS programs even still.
There's DOS software that's getting updates to this day, what are you on about?
Like what? I'm genuinely interested now.
I think it's pretty neat :)
This was back when Windows was customizable, from the visual styles to the toolbar configurations to the Windows Media Player skins. Also back when the internet wasn't so bloated, before Google decided that web browsers should be like entire operating systems instead of document viewers. Windows XP is also the sweet spot when it comes to compatibility with modern-ish software and stuff from the 1990's.

It's literally my daily driver on 6 machines I have at home, including a Proxmox server running several VMs and containers. The only time I use windows is at work.
cool
didja know theres a 64 bit version of windows xp? its not as useful as it sounds, but hey. its a thing.
oof, that sort of post. imagine how many lifetimes worth of felonies are harbored on those totally gigamaxed encrypted hard drives for protecting "financial related stuff".
glownigger fud
you forgot to say "and your wrong". normally when someone accuses you of something so henious, you generally say "no i dont". not "your the guy who knows it. knows what i do".
Lol just because you are to stupid to use it doesn't mean no one does.
*you're
im a american baby, grammer and rules dont mean shit to me. i will continue to butcher your language until the way i use words enter the merriam webster.
just so you know how its going, both the words "lol" and "selfie" are in the merriam webster. and selfie is allowed in scrabble. kek.
that's every OS, including Linux
every OS
Even TempleOS?
how is chromebookOS? any good? is it better than windows? or is windows 11 better?
yes
Yes, but only if you use it
only offline, bu never connect to
the internet with that OS.
Tbh, I liked Vista also.

I bought a convertible Lenovo chromebook recently on a whim (because it was cheap). I do field IT work and got sick of dropping expensive laptops off ladders.
I was completely surprised in how usable it is. I can do 90% of my work off it and rarely need a windows machine but for a few tools.
They're a hell of a lot better than an equivalent budget Acer shit-machine.
