The Devil (Bill Gates) was not so bad compared to what came after him.
That was a nice morning dose of nostalgia. Windows 98 is still my favourite OS, but I dearly miss XP and the simpler, nicer times that it represents. The aesthetics of 95, 98, and XP truly gave the impression that computers and the Web were this majestic new frontier of limitless potential. Windows 7 and onward just feel like cold, clean corporate OSes and accurately represent the normiefication of the Web.
God, I miss everything pre-2012 so much, but especially the 2000s internet.
Otaking, Bill Gates is most certainly *not* the devil, but rather our Lord and Savior: https://lolwut.neocities.org/comp/microsoft/lord-and-savior.html . TWH, me, too; it's precisely that feeling which has motivated me to write every page on my site. Truly, it was a better time.
Koshka, I mostly agree, but I would also say that Windows Vista and 7, though maybe not as endearing as 95, 98, and XP, are still overall solid operating systems with the sleek, refined, and futuristic aesthetics characteristic of 2000s rich design. It is Windows 8 and after, with their childish flat design garbage, that, for me, really embodies the normification of the Web and computers.
After the iWank came out everything went down. 4chan is full of phone-posters. Yeah the flat design cancer is only matched with calarts in ugliness on the web.
