For a slightly better chance against Linux he should have called himself windows XP man. 95 was shit if I remember correctly.

95 was amazeballs for what it did at the time to personal computing.

But there was a reason it got replaced with NT.

I think Windows has been shit since it was an app that sat on top of dos. It's gotten a lot better now in countless ways, but overall, it's gotten worse than better. There was a time where I couldn't/wouldn't consider an alternative as a daily driver from 95 through to the end of 7 support really.

The enshitification of windows got worse with 10 (11 is another order of magnitude) and the oncoming eos, drove me off again about 18 months ago and I've been happier for it.

Every Windows version was shit when it came out, then became good through updates by the time the next version came out.
Except for Windows ME and 8, which were just shit.
