    Vista had better features and stuff, but people hated it because it was a huge jump in needing extra resources and any mid tier or lower laptop that came pre-installed with it the first year was underspecced for it, so it ran like turd on those and sucked away gaming performance on everyone’s rig.

    95 wasn’t bad. 98 had some bugs and they quickly released 98SE, which was great and then they released the soggy turd of windows Millennium.

    That was their disaster year. Windows ME, released just 2 years after 98 in 2000, and written out of existence just one year later by Windows XP.


  • Stuff got too easy to really have to delve into a deeper understanding, most of the time, now. No jumpers, no dip switches, no pre-loading drivers or plugs that can be plugged into places they shouldn’t get plugged into. Everything is color coded and plug n play. You don’t have to dive in and assign com ports or anything.

    I learned as I went because I wanted to get shit to work and that took a lot of educating to get there. Now, most of the time the situation doesn’t come up, so that deeper understanding is a building block that just got skipped over. The offshoot is that when the more rare occasion arises that a deeper understanding is required, it’s usually got a person way behind the 8 ball to be able to recognize and fix the issue.
