I thought 10 was a decent OS once debloated, used it for a while.

Back to Linux now though.

Other than it rebloating itself

I miss windows millennium, which would be a hammer made of a turd.

The plain old basic hammer probably should have been Windows 2000, and then a big playskool plastic stuff slapped on for XP, but ultimately pretty much exactly the same.

At least you can despyware 10...

Why should you need to? That's my beef with it. It means they don't respect you enough to give you something good in the first place and hope 99% won't bother.

You forgot windows me.

I know it would throw off the whole 9 square thing but if you (or the person that created this) decide to add it then might I recommend a hammer smashing itself into pieces?

Isn’t that what the entire thing is balanced precariously on top of? So it’s not absent from the meme, it’s lurking in the background, ever-present.

Windows actually migrated to the NT kernel when XP launched - AFAIK, ME was a dead end.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

I'll take both of your words for it since the only I know about windows me is that it fucking crashed catastrophically all the fucking time.

Oh shit.

I didn't even notice.

First I forgot about Dre and now I forgot about windows 95. Smh my head.

I use arch BTW. But I liked XP and 7.

Windows 98 still had DOS built in right? I kind of have an itch to install it in a vm or something.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

yeah both windows 95 and 98 were just built on top of dos

[–] cm0002@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yea, I can never forget this logo

And Windows ME, though they made odd efforts to try to hide this shameful fact.

I think Win10 started like that, but with time parts fell off until you were left with something shaped like a hammer.

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

Most of windows products get increasingly worse over time. Security updates aside, I've never understood why the didn't just stop updating things to save themselves the money and save us the hassle.
