    XP ruled idk what they’re on about. Windows 8 really began the death knell of Windows IMO. A new UI people didnt want or like forced down your throat. They started their new hideous and confusing design language, which led to the truly abhorrent Windows 10 half-baked replacement for the control panel. Then the ads. Spyware baked in. Vibe coded start menu that takes 300ms to open. Sigh.

      Windows 8 with its over simplified UI style was to accommodate the fact that corporate users wanted to do RDP over slow connections from laptops made between 2007 and 2012, remember how fucked those things were?
