Used and supported Windows for over 30 years at this point. I've NEVER been a fan, and started looking into Linux back in '99. It wasn't ready back then, but two decades later and it seems like Linux does everything except anti-cheat, which I have no use for, better than Windows ever did.
... I worked for Microsoft.
... during the time they rolled out Win8, by dogfooding it through every employee and contractor.
I don't know anyone that hates Microsoft and Windows more than I do.
I used to be sysadmin for a uni with a citrix farm. I may have a good shot at taking that crown.
I'm admin for a Citrix farm right now.
I feel you.
The fun starts when it decides to kick off the AV for every single user at once
'98 was a marginal improvement over '95 at least.
Windows 7 with all the SPs was peak Windows
Agreed, peaked at 7.
And its been literally all downhill from there.
I actually could not believe what was happening, when they rolled out 8 on us.
"We've removed... the windows... from Windows."
Saying that outloud made my boss very angry.
We spent a month pleading to let us go back to 7, to use some kind of standard, non tablet UI.
For a month they told is that didn't exist in 8, the UI was all totally new and redesigned from the ground up, and no we can't go back to 7.
But, they were lying, of course. There was a sequence you could do to override the new UI that had indeed been slapdashed over 7's UI, to go back to 7's UI.
(Where 7's UI is modified XP UI, which is modified 98 UI... etc)
We figured it out, they'd patch it to not work, some other email chain would figure out some other override, they'd patch that out.
After about a month of that they actually admitted that the 7 UI was indeed still there and was not just some kind of emergency fall back mode.
Some months later, 8.1 is basically just them making the 7 UI mode fully work.
Again, I literally could not believe how stupid this all was, to the point of sometimes literally dissociating.
Or maybe Windows 8 was my personal Vietnam, or something, lol.
