Why is this the Windows 95 logo with the XP name photoshopped in?

XP was an unmitigated disaster at release it got better tho.

I think Windows peaked with 7. The last time that you felt like the upgrade was worth it or at least not a step backwards.

[–] Varesti@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, I was going to say 7 as well.

[–] X@piefed.world 6 points 3 hours ago

This is exactly right. I suffered through vista, loved the hell out of 7, and right as 8 came out, someone offered me an iMac for cheap. Started learning OS X and when 8 came out and I saw what was going on, I never went back.

I still talk with folks about what an unmitigated security disaster it was prior to SP2.
