I will never understand why people liked Windows XP, I’d rather use Gentoo Linux from 2002 compiled from a stage 1 tarball than this steaming pile of shit. Windows 7 was solid, but 10 was (again) the biggest piece of garbage. Horrible UWP UI, Cortana, the garbage Windows Store, the Windows Phone integration, the useless Xbox app, the shitty version of OneNote, crappy MS Edge, Candy Crush ads in the fucking start menu and tons of data collection. Oh yeah, what a great operating system!
The security on XP was comically bad. When people say “physical access is full access,” they aren’t even considering XP despite it being the textbook definition to the phrase. You were able to access the command line without even logging in.
Yeah, i found an old laptop running xp that had a password i didn’t know, was ridiculously easy to reset it, just reboot to safe mode and change it there
WSL allowed my stupid Windows desktop to run Pihole. Very cool? Meh.
Not as cool as running Pihole on an old android phone. Somehow that’s much more stable.
Well yeah, stable running on unstable is still unstable. Cant’t build a fundament on sand. etc.
I think the word you’re looking for is “foundation” lol
In practice the word is almost always used in the adjective form “fundamental”, which actually refers more to a foundation than a fundament.
Everything that doesn’t involve Microsoft is more stable.
One would think this only involves their
operatingspyware system, but all of their “professional” software is just as bad too!Nothing about Microsoft is professional.
Ok, Powertoys were made by MS employees in their free time. It’s the company culture that makes things suck.
Meh, Microsoft has put out some shitty fucking software but Windows XP, 7, and 10 were tight.
The only time any of these OS’s fell apart was when I downloaded viruses from sketchy sites.
For the record, hot single milfs in your area are typically not found by “clicking here.”
Ya only know if ya try
That’s how you get a different kind of virus lol

Preinstalled
Same as every other version

Insert BIOS password. Not foolproof, but helpful for detering people that weren’t going to open the box
I’m talking without the need to reboot or enter BIOS

BizTalk was (is?) a solid and also quite impressive product. That said, I’m happy I haven’t had to work with it for years 🙂
