Windows XP/7 Nostalgia

I miss Windows XP / 7, everything went downhill after.

XP was fine. 2000 was good. Nobody pines for Windows ME. People said those things and they meant it. Windows 8-11 feel pretty bad, overall. 7 was okay.

I liked version 7 but I believe Windows has taken a downturn since then.
