win2k was peak for me. lean, functional, just a pinch of glitter here and there (short fade-ins). it was on par with the amazing stability brought by nt5 kernel

i kinda miss xp at a cultural level since it was a bit the end of that computing culture cycle (after that apple started to dominate and ubuiquitous computing influenced desktop ui)
- Intermernet 6d ago"after that apple started to dominate" When did Apple dominate? I'm not trying to hate on Apple here, but there's this weird belief that Apple have had a lead in personal computer OS market share at some point in the last few decades, and it isn't really true since about 1984. You can argue that they should dominate, but that doesn't seem to have happened.
- 2muchcoffeeman 6d agoMaybe they mean culturally.
- agumonkey 6d agoThe mac os x and iphone era dictated UI and UX for a while. I wasn't clear that I wasn't talking about market share.
- unregistereddev 6d agoI remember Apple products being the realm of graphics designers, videographers, and other art professionals back in the XP days. I thought they went mainstream later, as Windows Vista coincided with the iPhone release.
