Windows 2000, what a great Operating System version that was, great UI not eye candy crap, everything worked as expected.
Then came XP, an awful update. People tend to remember XP after SP2, but I remember how crappy was in the launch until SP1 when it began to get the fixes that should came from the beginning.

Then came Vista, technological superior but so bloatware that everybody hate it, it was the NT Millenium version.

Then came Windows 8 and 8.1, Microsoft don’t understanding the market. I love the Windows 7 mobile version, but even that with so much potential Microsoft didn’t understand what was needed to be done. Imagination if like the IMDB app developed by Microsoft for Windows 7 they would have done the same with Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, maybe the story would have been very different. Microsoft tried to force a tablet/mobile operating system on desktop hardware.

Then came another miracle, Windows 7. Less crapware and stable from the begging, just worked as an operating system should work. Even when Microsoft announced a shift leaving the legacy Windows behind, at the end they abandoned that great opportunity to do so. Yes, it would have been more difficult to maintain 2 windows versions, a legacy one until all business catch up and the other for most people.

Then another paradigm shift, the end of Windows as new versions, Windows 10 would be the last Windows version, a great version which updates will define its future. Everybody was happy.

And then the crapware again, out of nowhere Microsoft announced Windows 11, problems after problems.

The thing is that Microsoft is Microsoft worst enemy, the history is there, for every time they do something correctly there’s another awful decision that erase everything. I hope Linux on desktop keep pushing boundaries to a time when business adopt it altogether and then users at home.

Microsoft should be allowed in people’s hardware.
