In my experience Vista was the worst version of windows ever released. Glassy stuff looked cool but was a huge power hog. Thank god you could turn it off. And 10 feel horrible too (dont upgrade). It doesnt let you “ungroup” windows on the task bar. I prefer them separate and they just removed the option. Why? It was already there. It is a common preference of users. Best windows in my opinion was xp and 7.

Sure it does. Right click the taskbar, go into the Taskbar settings, and there’s a dropdown called “Combine taskbar buttons” with an option to never combine.
Man I miss windows vista. It was peak windows design. I loved the glassy windows and buttons.
I miss Windows 7. The default wallpapers were a treat. I remember one that had like a flying turtle with a city on its back
I miss 3.1. the blue background was a specific blue and the gray taskbars were gray. What a wonderful time.
I fully agree. Windows 8 and up are so sadly neutered
In all fairness, nothing beat Windows 8 on tablets. The touch controls were fantastic. Was disappointed when 10 got rid of them.
Oh for tablets it was fantastic. I’m mainly just speaking to the styling. I actually didn’t mind windows 8 functionally
I mean, if you want to relive the glory days, here you go.
Reply here with a screenshot or PM me when you’re done, please. 😁
Oshit. Now this is a reason to log into my PC.

It was aesthetic
No XP was peak.
