  Yup. A lot of people say XP was the best but IMO that’s just nostalgia talking. XP was pretty unstable, horrendously insecure to an extreme degree, and missing a lot of creature comforts.

  It was so common for one program not responding to freeze up the whole system and necessitate a reboot. Just made it frustrating to use. There are some things I miss though.

    Imagine running KDE as root. That’s essentially what running XP was as most people use it with an Administrator account.

    7 didn’t have nearly as iconic sounds or theming and didn’t have Space Cadet. I’m genuinely far more nostalgic for Windows 8 than Windows 7.

  I miss Vista. There's nothing out there that replicates that feeling of booting it for the first time. Especially after years of XP... I got lucky though, I didn't get on board until after SP1 had released so it wasn't too bad and my laptop was above recommended spec for Home Premium.
