- SoftTalker 3y agoI have always felt that the pinnacle of Windows usability was Windows 2000 Professional. Clean, mostly intuitive, few gratuitous animations. It's been downhill ever since.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoI didn't have any problem with XP. I can't recall a single major irritant in its UI.
- mdaniel 3y agoDid you leave the cartoon UI enabled? Because I recall XP not being a terrible release once one put back the "yes, I'm a professional, less crayola, please" UI elements
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoOh yeah! I turned that off so fast that I forgot about it. You're absolutely right. I remember deriding that as the Fisher-Price UI. And I hated, HATED the "my this' and "my that" fad that dominated the early '00s. Yeah, I know it's MY computer, because it's on MY desk full of MY documents. So goddamned infantile. Sadly, I've seen some resurgence of the "my" BS lately.
