I always laugh at people that hate on the new version of Windows, as if any of the older versions were any better. When XP came out there were 98 SE die-hards. When 7 dropped there was the XP die-hards or maybe it was 2000 if you really wanted to be a rebel. When 10 dropped, there was the 7 die-hards. 11 dropped and now it's the 10 die-hards.
If you're worried about the new version of windows because you don't trust Microsoft as a company to not give all your information to the government, track you and then create new advanced AI programs that control you like Skynet or something PROTIP: Stop using Windows altogether. Use something like Qubes with Fedora or Whonix. It's laughable hearing people complain about Windows 11 that are still using 7 as if that wasn't a privacy nightmare when that came out in its day either. Just upgrade your windows already or stop using windows.
wasn't 2000 just a business only OS?
No, at one point that literally was the neckbeard OS to use even for gaming. I remember it well. Cause ME was ghey basically. The idea was that 2000 was basically ME without the ghey so 2000 was the best until XP but lots of users kept with 2000 cause XP was ghey until like SP2 or something.
Windows ME was conceived and launched in just six months, literally just backported a bunch of win2k features onto a win98 base because otherwise there wouldn't be a product launch in time.
And it fucking shows.
