throwaway61511: 2000 in A is criminal. Most stable thing Microsoft ever shipped and it ran almost everything made for XP.

wet_goose_14: Windows 10 came out in 2015. That's ten years ago.

throwaway64277: ME in F, no notes

AngryPickle5251: 11 is fine once you debloat it. Out of the box it's an ad delivery system with a start menu.

sandwichlurker: People putting XP in S forget it was a mess for the first three years. It took SP2 to make it the XP everyone is nostalgic for.
