But not old enough for this to be about Windows ME.

windows me! my first computer that was “mine”

MisterFrog@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Windows 8 was pretty bad, but you could at least still use desktop mode just fine with a quick settings fix.
Fucking windows 11 took top, left, and right taskbar from us and then locked all the threads asking for it back, and prevented the registry hack to at least get top taskbar back.
Windows 8 was fine
I’m holding out on my work laptop until they force me to “upgrade”

The safe word is <This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down>

Just need to remove “8” from that message.

Could be worse; could be Vista, 7, 10, 11,

Vista really really sucked by Microsoft’ standards

If they did the 11 thing where old hardware can’t use it then it wouldn’t be any worse than 7

Windows ME.

8 was at least an attempt to try to make things better for home users and get away from win32 cruff.
Like or hate the exact approach they took, you have to admire the spirit.
10 and 11 has been Microsoft saying “fuck em. They won’t ever be happy steal everything you can while they’re still here.”

I don’t think Windows will ever fully escape Win32 cruft. One of the major features of Windows is backwards compatibility.

I thought 8 was ok… 8.1 was the best 8, which changed a few of the annoying things and made it fine. I agree with the other person here, this should be Vista.

Only for subs, constantly asking for permission.

I fucking loved windows 8, if I could I would still have the all screen start menu bastard.

Could have been worse, he could have installed Vista
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
8 was worse. At least Vista looked like Windows instead of being some weird phone OS hybrid that I couldn’t figure out until I installed a third-party start menu. A start menu!
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Vista with updates was also shockingly stable. 7 on launch was really just Vista with a new taskbar skin.
saltesc@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Found the Win Me fan.
nl4real@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Not even close. Vista wasn’t a straight-up middle finger to desktop users. Well, not by M$ standards anyway.

Shouldn’t that be 11?

I always thought there’s a line people draw when they do bdsm so the fun doesn’t become torture.
You just crossed it using a 6m pole in order to land as far as possible from the line.
