That's not how I meant it. User Stinkywinks said that all Windows since Windows XP are shitty, which I disagree with. XP is often treated as a superior and awesome OS, which may have been okay for its time, but can, imho, not compete with Win 7 or Win 10.
Missing the old times is one thing, but claiming the old times were better is another.
It's like comparing cars of different eras. Yeah sure, the old Ford Maverick from the 70s was a cool car. But it was also a lot less efficient, a lot less comfortable and a lot less secure. It's surely not better in these aspects than more modern cars.
So go ahead swaying in nostalgia, but stop glorifying Windows XP for being a better OS than modern successors.
