No no, we're not doing this. We're not pretending Vista wasn't absolute dog shit.
Vista will always have a special place in my heart. I learned so much from Vista, like 'Oh, wdym I can't go back to XP?" "This is a torrent, and this is an ISO." "This is how you install an OS." "Wdym they're stopping support for XP?" and "This is what Ubuntu is."
Bro vista was such garbage my father, the kinda guy who helps salesmen sell you extra features (believes new = quality/posterity), asked me if it was possible to go back to XP after a week of Vista.
It's not like vista didn't work, it just took 800 years to open any application, and longer to open two at once. He just wanted to play Diablo 2 bro lol
My dad was the first person I know to beat Diablo 1. So my brother, our friends and I all consider him to be the cannon wanderer, with his sons and friends as the cast of D2
Vista was horrible. 8 was actually not that bad I barely remember 7 existing
But XP and 98 were the best ones
Oh man, 7 were the glory days. Gates came back to save the company.
i refused to update my home PC from 7. that's a good box.
It works though because compared to XP, I'd pick XP every time.
I used it and didn’t mind it at the time. I personally never ran into any issues with it, and then upgraded to 7 when I got a chance.
It was certainly more stable than ME, which I also had the pleasure of running.
