bro I'm so happy that the last windows i set up was 2015... i remember every time the excruciating 1h set aside to click and confirm and authenticate privileged access and pull slider etc... no sensible way to just run it in terminal, at least not that i know of. and nowadays there's this useless right-click menu that hides the real right-click menu and you can only fix this by finding a registry key 😂😂😂

Only 23 years?

I don't think this bad lad has changed since Windows 3.1

3.11 as 3.1 had no networking capability.

Whenever I saw that old dialog it felt like a comfort blanket... that won't ever let you go and entangle you in it's comfy iron grip.

Seriously, the speed in which windows is getting worse since after win 7 is almost comical.

Win 7 was peak. Bonus points for giving option to make it look like Win9x by disabling all eye candy options.

Windows had 3 peaks. 95, xp, and 7.

Now I just use Linux. I know not everyone can, but for everything I do or need to do it all works just fine there so I couldn't be happier.

My favourite Windows is still 2000.

Isn't that the one you could get to BSOD with a single ping?
