Older people feel exactly the same way about windows2000... or sometimes 98... or 3.1...

[BrenBarn]

I used all of those versions but I'd still agree that Win7 was the last good one. I still love the 95/98 aesthetic the most and it's what I try to replicate with my systems now, but the dropoff after Win7 is still much greater.

I hadn't read anyone talk about how UI peaked at Windows 3.1 through. Perhaps most people just start their desktop computing journey with 95.

I think the usual adage is that every other version of Windows is pretty good.

more about xp than 2000

[bestham]

For me more about 2000 than XP. 2000 still felt like a Workstation OS and it was very responsive. XP themeing was the first thing I removed once I could not continue on 2000.

Yeah, most people wouldn't say that about Win2000, but XP, definitely. XP Service Pack 2 was excellent.
