Steve Jobs is famous for his 1996 quote about Microsoft not having taste ( ▶ this video ). I disagree; as much as I love the classic Mac OS and Jobs-era Mac OS X, and despite my feelings about Microsoft's monopolistic behavior, 1995-2000 Microsoft's user interfaces were quite tasteful, in my opinion, and this was Microsoft's most tasteful period. I have fond memories of Windows 95/NT 4/98/2000, Office 97, and Visual Basic 6. I even liked Internet Explorer 5. These were well-made products when it came to the user interface. Yes, Windows 95 crashed a lot, but so did Macintosh System 7. Things started going downhill, in my opinion, with the Windows XP "Fisher-Price" Luna interface and the Microsoft Office 2007 ribbon.

> Why remove such a good feature? To look more like Apple does? Fail fail fail Microsoft Imitating Apple, not understanding why Apple does some of these things (not that they're always right eh, far from it), thus fumbling really badly. My Apple Fan Card is long expired, I'm not even paying my dues (just a phone in the last 3 years) but Jobs was absolutely right already back in 1995: ▶ this video

When you keep add bloat on top of bloat, fire your QA team, hire people not skilled enough for the task, protect your incompetent higher ups, at some point things start to fall apart, that's windows for you The sad part is as a result, windows 10 is viewed as "good".. society fell this low The everything app will certainly not be microsoft/windows based We still have a long way to go in the west.. ▶ this video
