can you imagine how bloated that would be eventually, that was one of the scariest things microsoft has ever said
they absolutelly are, but i feel like the continuos bloat at the rate they do it nowadays on a ongoing os for like 2 decade would just become too much, like imagine if instead of vista they just kept adding the stuff they need to add to xp again and again like they do fuck up on those jumps (win11) and it is good to be able to just say okay no i am just gonna wait for whenever you guys figure how to do a good one again instead of watching your pc slowly morph into it with no way to stop it
i wish i could go to linux but i am in architecture and there is a lot of unsupported apps i need for work and in a office setting it is easier if everyone is using the same programs, they have reduced the attempts to force me into win 11 but it still happens sometimes when i restart and it drives me nuts i hate this company so much
That would have been better.constantly changing os and breaking compatibility sucks. Also XP is better than latter windows. I would still use it if the hardware was compatible.
like i picked xp because the jump to vista was the one that i recalled broke the most stuff but it is a bad example because i would still use XP too, the vista thing as i see it is that they had to add stuff because of tech, and windows 7 was better when it came out because they had already baked that shit, vista ran really bad for most people because it was way more of a demanding os than xp so i feel like the slow trickle of updates until it got to the vista point would just make people more mad because it would eventually get there and it would be way harder to pinpoint the exact version you need for your computer, like if they are making big changes i rather them do it this way so i can opt out of doing the jump, but maybe you are right like fuck microsoft i hate them so much simply can't do 2 decent versions of windows in row if their life depended on it
Yhea XP to vista broke a lot of stuff. I even switched to Linux for a while but had to go back because of what you said of other people using windows programs.
But you are right it would suck if the gradual updates also broke stuff. I'm against big changes in my os in general.
Yhea windows sucks, fucking company.
