Windows XP

When Windows XP first released, people criticized it for having a theme that they hadn’t seen before in Windows. People thought it was very kiddish and appealing to children, not being taken as seriously for the large userbase of the time. There were also criticisms about how fragile Internet Explorer was (I’m not kidding, I was there and Internet Explorer back then was at its most insufferable.).

But these days, just because of how bad Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and now 11 have been, people have praised Windows XP so much.

    Action and resistance.

    We were told standing up was extreme. I’m all for a peace and love mantra but we have been conditionally pacified. Trouble is back in the streets and it’s not being met.

      Part of me is baffled and a bit weirded out that we’ll have stories like Injustice, where a kryptonian god rules the world but Batman is STILL insisting on his “Do not kill” rule.

      I want to see more heroes that will string up a purse snatcher and give them a stern talking to, but will also end the lives of truly evil people.
