    Win 98 was the last good one. Easy network setup, no spaghetti settings.

    And he’s correct; installing and removing software via the software tab was comfortable and polluting it with random sub packages is killing its use.

    But this shows, there was no canonical way to publish software. A manager oversight from bill himself at the time probably.

    Plus this makes me wonder if he was using a different system normally or was not a power user.

    Also lol bro owning means you pass the issue to your team and rake in the promotion when they fixed it.

      I’m partial to windows 7, but it’s been a very long time since I have considered myself remotely close to a power user. Windows 10 is meh. Windows 11 is a dumpsterfire of epic proportions.

      MS couldn’t even corner the AI world being a primary investor in openAI and having first dibs. Like they could not execute. They have too much Baggage now. VERY IBM. They will coast with their business contracts and that’s about all they can do, ride intertia.
