Windows vista wasn't even that bad. My first computer ran it without a lot of fuss. Granted, you needed a decent computer, otherwise it could be slow. But still, if you had a decent computer, vista was fine.
@@STCatchMeTRACjRo Windows XP was great for its time, but staying with it would have hindered progress in security, modern hardware support, and new features. Innovation required moving forward.
True-Microsoft still offers standalone Office products, giving users a choice outside of subscriptions. Adobe, on the other hand, has fully embraced the subscription-only model, leaving no alternative for one-time purchases.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.

I started testing Windows 11 when I saw the requirements, my notebook meets all of them except the processor which is 7th and only 8th and above is allowed, I don't see any sense in these choices because Linux has been on the market for much longer and still runs on common machines without many requirements... In my case I would have to buy a new notebook just to have an updated version of the system, and to make matters worse I would be a "beta test" of it since with each update comes a different surprise like bug, crash, error, lag, loss of performance, among others until perhaps one day the system becomes stable and ready for use. Unfortunately, I will have to continue with the outdated system since 90% of the programs I use do not work on Linux and to make matters worse, there is no system that can compete with Microsoft's... She managed to have a monopoly on a system and can do whatever she wants with it...
Your frustration is valid. Microsoft's strict hardware requirements for Windows 11, particularly with processors, have alienated many users whose devices are otherwise functional. It's frustrating to face forced obsolescence and beta-like instability with updates. While Linux offers freedom and compatibility with older hardware, the lack of software support for many professional applications limits its practicality for some users. This highlights Microsoft's monopoly, as their dominance leaves users with few viable alternatives in certain environments. For now, sticking with an older system may be your best option, but it underscores the need for more competitive and user-focused operating systems in the market.
That’s a testament to Apple’s focus on creating a stable, cohesive user experience. macOS’s reliability, integration with Apple’s ecosystem, and lack of intrusive ads or bloatware make it a favorite for long-time users like you. It’s refreshing to have a system that just works without constant frustrations or compromises-a major reason why so many stick with macOS once they switch.
No, you missed the constant and egregious spying, constant changing of settings to force said spying, intentionally breaking bootloaders, terrible mixed original control panel and modern but useless settings, intentionally incapable import filters for odt documents and a whole lot more.
I agree. Vista had major flaws beyond hardware issues, including invasive spying, forced setting changes, broken bootloaders, a confusing mix of old and modern settings, and poor support for open formats like ODT. These issues severely hurt its usability and reputation.
@Jenny_Digital Does it break its own bootloader? I didn't know that Or does it break other OS's bootloader when it's installed side by side with other OS within the same computer?
the funny thing is that after ms discontinued internet explorer, they started forcing ms edge onto users in an even more aggressive way than they did ie, even going as far as to giving you pop ups begging you not to download chrome when you go the the chrome download page and trying to stop you from setting another default browser
You're right-Microsoft's aggressive push for Edge has been frustrating. The constant pop-ups, nudges against Chrome, and hurdles to change default browsers feel intrusive and undermine user choice. It's ironic given their history with Internet Explorer.
Microsoft has always been about controlling the market. But starting with Windows 8, it started trying to control its users as well. Windows 7 was the last good operating system.
You're right-Microsoft shifted focus with Windows 8, aiming to control not just the market but user behavior too. Windows 7 truly felt like the last great OS that prioritized user choice and simplicity.
Let’s not forget that Windows self destructs overtime, it just slows down. Also, they buy their “innovations” instead of make their own. When they introduced their “multiple desktops” feature, it made me realize they’re actually behind in many innovations.
Windows tends to slow down over time, and many of its "innovations," like multiple desktops, are borrowed rather than original, highlighting a lag in genuine innovation.
If that's how it feels in your timeline, the Mandela Effect has a way of making us question everything! As for Microsoft, they’ve had their fair share of misses, and some do feel their dominance could wane. Maybe their days are numbered if they don’t keep innovating!
Crazy how one of my friends’s crazy errors got in. Anyways… Most things like Vista and forced updates are agreeable, they are and were absolutely horrendous.

My win11 laptop loved to reboot, wifi randomly disconnected, and every single icon disappeared for no reason (not only desktop shortcut icons, but everything in start menu, even files in file manager had no icons) and nobody knew how to fix it, no articles about it, no yt tutorials on how to fix it, even chatgpt and perplexity ai didn't seem to understand the problem I got it fixed by factory resetting it, but it only took a week for that problem to come back somebody on forum suggested me to do a clean reinstall, so I did it.

I completely agree. Windows 11's bloated resource usage, persistent bugs, and lack of reliable fixes can be frustrating. Switching to GNU/Linux often transforms performance-less RAM usage, no unnecessary background processes, and better system responsiveness. It’s an excellent choice for those prioritizing efficiency and control over their devices.
try reinstalling windows 11 because when i installed windows 11 on an old unsupported pc everything worked fine (except tpm chip for anti cheat competitive gaming) i was shocked how smooth it was so yeah the problems you stated are not because of microsoft its because of something else
That’s just a tip of the iceberg. I’m pretty sure that people would take a two tiered activation system on windows. The people who did not want to pay for a license of windows would be OK with receiving ads in the start menu while the people who do pay for the license for windows should be able to have a version of windows without ads on the start menu but instead Microsoft took the first approach and forced it on everyone that’s why I switched to a Mac and I’m never looking back unless Microsoft goes back to its ways where I can have a version of Windows without all the garbage ads and without the bloatware
Microsoft's decision to force ads and bloatware on all Windows users, even those paying for a license, has frustrated many. A two-tier system-ad-supported for free users and ad-free for paying customers-would have been a fairer approach. Instead, the intrusive ads and clutter drove many to alternatives like macOS, which offers a cleaner, more professional experience. To win back users, Microsoft needs to prioritize transparency, choice, and a truly ad-free version of Windows for paying customers.
@ when you introduce a system like I just mentioned piracy, go straight out the window because now you don’t have to obtain windows through a third-party website for example torrent download you could just get the ISO straight from Microsoft website and run it on your hardware with no obligation to pay but if you want to remove ads, you gotta pay for a license
Honestly? Microsoft isn't THAT bad...at least when compared to really bad tech giants like Google or Meta. Microsoft, while having killed dozens of products in its history, it wasn't nearly as bad as Google in that regard (Stadia being one of the prime examples). Is it monopolistic? Of course, like every company aspires to (remember: corporations are NOT your friends). They just took the chance, like Meta did with Facebook and ran with it. Fortunately, there are constant changes within the industry that are helping reverse this situation and put Microsoft only as another competitor and not the monopoly in the desktop that it is right now.
Microsoft isn’t perfect, but compared to Google or Meta, it’s less reckless with its products. While monopolistic tendencies are there, industry shifts and competition are gradually leveling the playing field. Corporations chase profit, not friendship!
I have watched many videos that talk about why Windows is so much more popular than say, any Linux distribution, and it has nothing to do with the superior quality of Windows from the get-go. It's because Microsoft many decades ago got their foot in the door of PC OEMs and made deals for them to install Windows on the computers they sold. Linux never did this. So, what operating system is on most computers? Well, most people, when they purchase a PC, get it pre-installed with an operating system. That operating system is Microsoft Windows. Does that mean Windows is the best one out there? No. Not any more than Budweiser is the best tasting beer in the world because it's the #1 selling beer.
You're absolutely right-Windows' dominance stems from strategic OEM deals, not necessarily superior quality. Popularity often reflects accessibility and marketing, not inherent excellence-just like Budweiser's beer analogy.
JFC enough with complaining about Vista. Vista was great, but consumers were STUPID. Vista, was meant to be the first fully 64bit OS, 32bit wasn't even meant to be an option. It was developed in partner with AMD, around AMD hardware and software optimized for.....AMD hardware. Unfortunately, intel...didn't have a 64bit cpu, and had ZERO chance of developing one before Vista launched (in fact intel, to this day, continues to licensee x64 from AMD) And despite the fact that AMD had the superior product, intel represented a large share of the market. So they stomped their feet, threw a tantrum and made threats until Microsoft was forced to cobble the 32bit PoS together that everyone, ignorantly focuses on. Nvidia applied their own pressure because while the 8800 GTX was "technically" DX10 compliant (DX10 being a perquisite for Aero) it was really just a DX9 card, with SOME DX10 extensions thrown in. Intel, decided to double down on 32bit, scrapping Pentium 4 entirely and going back to build off the pentium 3. They ended up with a great 32bit CPU.....but it still sucked in comparison to 64 bit computing. Using IDENTICAL hardware, the performance difference between 32bit and 64bit versions of Vista, was a 50% uplift. I'd been daily driving 64bit versions of "Longhorn" for more than a year before Vista officially released. There was nothing wrong with the 64bit OS. The problem was intel, and their campaign of misinformation to keep the ignorant masses buying inferior tech. And it worked! It worked so well in fact that Windows 11 was the first fully 64bit OS. 16 years past the intended launch date. Windows 7, is the same kernel as Vista. The only difference is that windows 7 has all the features and functionality they removed in order to keep Intel's (and to a lesser extent, nvidia's) hardware compliant. And no this isn't a theory, this is first hand information from people who worked at Microsoft and AMD. Windows 8 however, was a dumpster fire.
@@mtb-hd Mmm....yes and no. Windows 7 is what vista was originally meant to be, and aside from the UI changes, Win 7 and early beta builds of "Codename" longhorn, were nearly identical. The features they removed from 7, were the cobbled together bubble gum and match sticks "fixes" they rushed out to keep intel hardware compliant. By the time Win 7 came out, Intel had been granted permission to use x64 instruction sets as part of a cross license agreement with AMD (you can use x86, if we can use x86-64) Intel's 64 bit performance had improved enough that band aids were no longer required, though their marketing campaign made sure that consumers largely didn't pay much attention to it anyway. Microsoft has had plenty of missteps and outright failures, but Vista was fully intel's fault, and it held the industry back by more than a decade.
You're right-Microsoft's dominant market share and immense wealth mean they have little incentive to cater to users with older hardware. Their focus on profits and pushing new devices often overshadows user needs, leaving people stuck with outdated systems or forced upgrades. It's a frustrating reality of their near-monopoly in the desktop OS market.
Windows Vista was not bad what the problem was is device manufacturers often either did one or two things one built a underpowered computer or two provided drivers that had faulty code
Windows Vista wasn't inherently bad-the issues stemmed from underpowered PCs labeled "Vista Capable" and poorly coded or missing drivers from manufacturers. These external factors led to performance problems and frustration, unfairly tarnishing its reputation. Despite this, Vista introduced key innovations that laid the groundwork for the success of Windows 7.
@ exactly my friend so windows vistas subpar performance was compounded by OEM’s not releasing hardware that were up to standard without Vista. I’m willing to bet that would be no seven and don’t get me started on eight.
You're speaking straight up facts man. Infact just today a few hours ago my laptop didn't warn me at all, it started slowing down by alot till I had to force it off by holding the power button and then it booted to an update screen and I sat for about 20 mins for it to update :D
Thanks man. Exactly! Windows updates can be so frustrating. They sneak up on you, slow everything down, and force you to reboot at the worst times. Microsoft really needs to figure out how to make updates less intrusive.
My laptop…-- Windows vista unsupported Windows 7 supported but no Bluetooth for video editing Windows 8 and 8.1 works Perfectly with no Problem. Windows 10 and 11 crashing 90times while using Adobe Premiere Pro 2024 Windows Server 2022 has unsupported Bluetooth support Microsoft gonna kill older people guess By life Support which running windows or something like that. I am not sure if I am wrong.
Your experience shows how inconsistent Windows updates can disrupt workflows, especially with demanding tasks like video editing. Older versions like Windows 8.1 often run smoothly, while newer ones like 10 and 11 struggle with crashes and compatibility issues. Bluetooth and driver problems further highlight these challenges. Microsoft should focus on improving stability and legacy support to retain trust from long-time users.
Everything past windows 7 has been pure garbage, they don't care about older hardware and has left a void when it comes to operating systems that cares about e waste.
Windows 7 was a milestone for many, but newer versions prioritize modern hardware and features, often at the expense of older devices. This shift has undeniably contributed to e-waste and left a gap for users who value sustainability
The forced updates is a thing of past. If you update Windows at right time it will never happen. If don't want MS Office on subscription basis you can get perpetual version. Rest is ok.
Forced updates on Windows may seem less intrusive now, but they’re still an issue for many users, especially with unexpected reboots. As for MS Office, while perpetual versions exist, they often lack features and updates compared to the subscription model, pushing users toward ongoing payments.
I wouldn't say there the worst but deffelently not a really good one but I'm not talking about tech fails. I think those are fair. But that's just like prices are stupid.
Yes, Windows Vista and Sonic 06 share a similar legacy: both were ambitious projects plagued by rushed development, technical issues, and poor optimization. Despite some potential, their flaws overshadowed any strengths, leaving them infamous in their respective fields.
A big part of the problem are the companies too that use absolutely every sh!t from MS everywhere as if there were not alternatives. From bloated office software to buggy and slow frequently hanging or crashing skype replacements to the omipresent outlook. In the latest iteration they've now also given all their data to MS by "migration into the cloud" using the latest Azure "technology". But the truth is very likely that even MS uses Linux in the backend.
The real issue is companies blindly sticking to Microsoft's bloated tools and handing over their data to Azure, ignoring better alternatives. Ironically, even Microsoft relies on Linux in its backend.
Some can be true,all tho not everything. For example, customer support, I've dealt with the customer support from Microsoft and Xbox, they're not as bad as it sounded like in the video. Maybe he is referring to an older era of total shit hell fire in the offices there lol

Microsoft refined those lessons, making Windows 7 the polished, user-friendly OS we remember as a success.

Your experience shows how inconsistent Windows updates can disrupt workflows, especially with demanding tasks like video editing. Older versions like Windows 8.1 often run smoothly, while newer ones like 10 and 11 struggle with crashes and compatibility issues. Bluetooth and driver problems further highlight these challenges. Microsoft should focus on improving stability and legacy support to retain trust from long-time users.
Everything past windows 7 has been pure garbage, they don't care about older hardware and has left a void when it comes to operating systems that cares about e waste.
Windows 7 was a milestone for many, but newer versions prioritize modern hardware and features, often at the expense of older devices. This shift has undeniably contributed to e-waste and left a gap for users who value sustainability
@mtb-hd true, I don't mind pushing the bar a bit but there's a limit.
Bro you want me use the bios forever.
The forced updates is a thing of past. If you update Windows at right time it will never happen.
If don't want MS Office on subscription basis you can get perpetual version.
Rest is ok.
Forced updates on Windows may seem less intrusive now, but they’re still an issue for many users, especially with unexpected reboots. As for MS Office, while perpetual versions exist, they often lack features and updates compared to the subscription model, pushing users toward ongoing payments.
They’ve been screwing things up for decades 😑
I wouldn't say there the worst but deffelently not a really good one but I'm not talking about tech fails. I think those are fair. But that's just like prices are stupid.
Windows Vista = Sonic 06
Change my mind
Yes, Windows Vista and Sonic 06 share a similar legacy: both were ambitious projects plagued by rushed development, technical issues, and poor optimization. Despite some potential, their flaws overshadowed any strengths, leaving them infamous in their respective fields.
@ I KNEW IT!!! Oddly enough their release dates were one year apart from each other
A big part of the problem are the companies too that use absolutely every sh!t from MS everywhere as if there were not alternatives. From bloated office software to buggy and slow frequently hanging or crashing skype replacements to the omipresent outlook. In the latest iteration they've now also given all their data to MS by "migration into the cloud" using the latest Azure "technology". But the truth is very likely that even MS uses Linux in the backend.
The real issue is companies blindly sticking to Microsoft's bloated tools and handing over their data to Azure, ignoring better alternatives. Ironically, even Microsoft relies on Linux in its backend.
Better than Google, eh?
Nope! Worst
The browser thing is a big lie people love chrome
I dont have this problems
I are using Linux Mint instead

Good Decision
truer words were never spoken
Some can be true,all tho not everything. For example, customer support, I've dealt with the customer support from Microsoft and Xbox, they're not as bad as it sounded like in the video. Maybe he is referring to an older era of total shit hell fire in the offices there lol
Appreciate it! Sometimes, the truth just hits different. 😊
@DestinRestin Microsoft and Xbox support aren’t perfect, but yes they’ve improved a lot over the years.
