The benchmarks, reviews and poor sales disagreed with you. Maybe it wasn't under-powered for your standards and needs back then, but compared to what the mainstream laptop market of the time, they were very slow in windows apps which is what most consumers ran back then.
- sidewndr46 4y agoPast Windows XP I've never used a Windows system on any hardware I would consider adequate. Other than the non-stop "windows update broke thing X which worked just fine" it has a user interface that still manages to feel behind Windows 3.11. I think the fact that I consider XP to be performant is the fact that I had less to compare against back when it first released.
