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.

I will grant you that I may be reflecting my oppinion on XP and 7 on Microsoft as a whole.

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

Oh fuck off, you don't get to decide my oppinions.

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.
-
Oh yeah, I remember the mems from back in the late 90s, I reacted harshly to the previous comment as they claimed that I was being gaslit.
I remember using Windows as far back as 3.11, I know my own feelings.
If you look further in the thread you'll also see that I admitted that I was probably reflecting my oppinion on XP and 7 onto Microsoft as a whole.

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.
