I remember Windows 95 on my Pentium 4 being lightning fast. Like, I've barely finished clicking the icon and the program is already up and running.
With Windows 10 and my i7, I usually expect a loading screen or two before I can use what I just clicked on (esp. Microsoft Office).

- rightbyte 7y agoIt might be nostalgia but ... I believe the peak of user experience was Windows 98 sp2 when USB actually worked. I miss how you could hear the computer loading stuff when the HD made the arm moving sound. When it took time to open "My computer" you could hear the floppy drive looking for a floppy and the delay was fine becouse the reason was obvoius. I also miss the snappiness of Win32 GUIs just starting up in a heartbeat. No animations to hide bloat. If it crasched there was a blue screen and pushing the power button actually shuts down the PC power instantly. Oh, and spamming ctrl-alt-delete resets the computer.
