This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Windows 2000 was the absolute best windows hands down.
But now it's cachyos for me going forward. Never again will I install windows.
XP was beast they had to give away free upgrades to get people off it
I've used it recently. The ui is still snappier on the original machine than w11 today on a new one.
I'd be interested knowing why it got so bad. Is it for lack of time or focus on optimization? Is there a reason lazy loading isn't used? Why is the tooling so convoluted, by choice or as a victim of ever growing complexity?
Amen. I've hated every windows OS after Windows 2000.
