Even though I can't say I fully remember it, the beginning of yt, back when the Internet was a lot healthier than it's ever been due to the Wild West lifestyle (back before 3-4 webpages became the only place you go to).

Also, there for what I would consider the absolute best game console to come out since the beginning of the 2000s: xbox360. Also got to see what I consider the most aesthetically pleasing out of the box OS ever (W*ndows Vista)

I never understood the hate for vista. Ran great on my PC at the time. When 7 came out, I upgraded and was confused because it was practically identical to vista, yet people loved 7.

Same, I always liked Vista, never understood what people had against it.

I didn't realize anyone was capable of having fond memories of windows vista. Been using windows since 95 honestly I'd put windows vista at 2nd worst version ever, behind windows 8.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I remember using Windows 3.1.

I'm so old.

Those of us who grew up with win95 weren't all that bothered by Vista.

I didn't even hate me. It was fine. Felt like 98 service pack 3.

Definitely was a bad OS, but I absolutely love the aesthetic of it. That's definitely the best part of it.
