Feels like windows has regressed since Windows 7. Usability wise its gotten way worse. I guess the top was windows 2000, XP, Vista(after some time) windows 7.

Microsoft actually shipped a windows version(win8) which had a touch first interface this got installed on millions(billions?) of desktop computers and nobody liked it. It's insane to think about.

Ah, but fortunately Microsoft has realized this so there’s a way to access the control panel from the previous version. Every time you click “advanced” you get transported 1 window releases back in time, like a Russian doll. When in doubt, open minesweeper.

Windows 2000 was perfect. Super fast, minimal UI, rarely crashed.
