Fully agree. Windows is trash spyware now that doesn't respect user choice.

I was really commenting more on the meme itself.

For sure. Man I miss Windows 7, that was the best. No crap, updates just worked. Was nice.

It was the inverse for me. Windows 7 was always a nightmare to set up drivers, it was common to manually download the wifi drivers from the laptop's brand website. I groaned whenever someone asked me to help set up their PC.

Windows 10 just works out of the box. The only downside for me is aesthetics, I always preferred Aero.

How about that XP though? It was pretty excellent in its day.

How about MS DOS though? That was also pretty good for its time.

Heck yeah, used to play Doom and Duke Nukem 3D.

DR DOS was better. It came with NetWars.
