I noticed. When Windows XP came out I saw the enshitification right away. Never mind the play-skool colors and complete lack of security. I couldn't believe that people were going to be willing to use that crap.

I moved away from it for me and my business fairly quickly, and that was that.

I did notice over the years as winxp went away in public spaces and hotels. It was always kind of nice to know there were free to use computers out in the wild if one wanted to use them. XP was never able to be locked down, so you could bypass any login and just use it if you wanted to. Never for anything important, but I could always load up some games on the hotel one and let the kids play on it for fun for example.

I hear your security concerns but what timeline were you living on?

95 was revolutionary but buggy AF
NT I didn't have much to do with
98 was a patch to fix the bugs in 95
98 SE was mostly stable and a decent is, plus USB
ME was a piece of shit excuse to something
2000 was decent. XP v1
XP finally made a stable os, because it got rid of the shit we dragged in from 95
Vista was hot garbage
7 fixed vista an imo was the best is MS ever made
8 was more hot garbage because they lost the mobile war
10 was an apology for 8
11 is shareware / adware

Where did you find safe harbour in this shitshow?

I'd argue that 8.1 was an apology for 8 that never got accepted, 10 was an enshitified version of what 8 could have been if Microsoft shareholders didn't decide they wanted a slice of that sweet sweet mobile market.

Anyway, anything past 7 has/had unacceptable privacy violations. And that alone makes them shitte, even regardless of everything else.
