XP did have a 64-bit version, but at the time 64-bit wasn't widely used.

Vista's major problem was that it released during a time that the PC industry was racing to the bottom in terms of pricing. All those initial Vista machines were woefully inadequate for the OS they ran. 1-2GB RAM, which was perfectly fine for XP, was pathetic for Vista, yet they sold them anyway. If you bought a high-end machine, you likely had a pretty decent experience with Vista. If you bought a random PC at Walmart? Not so much.

Win2k was (largely) the end of MS producing DOS-based operating systems (with XP being the final nail in that coffin)

Win2k and WinXP were not built on DOS. They were not DOS-based. They were NT-based. ME was the final nail in that coffin.

12 will very likely just be 11. They don't do OS development like they used to. Windows is essentially now an OS that gets DLC every 6 months.

There's literally a drama that was on ABC called, you guessed it, "How to Get Away With Murder"

because those states have decided that those websites are illegal in their state

Not even a little bit. PornHub isn't blocked in those states by those states, and it certainly isn't illegal in those states. Those states are blocked by PornHub themselves, because those states enacted laws making it mandatory that PornHub and other porn websites verify visitor's ages. PornHub didn't want to comply with that so they just opted to block access from those states. Absolutely ridiculous laws, but we should get our facts straight.

Cops in the US can (legally) make you unlock your phone if it's biometrics-locked. Something to think about.

They wouldn't sell enough of them to justify making/promoting them.

Also would anyone explain why they prefer mp3 to aac and don't even mention ogg

Compatibility. Fewer devices support ogg and/or acc than mp3.
