And this marked the very first and last time I felt a sense of genuine excitement about an OS upgrade.
You weren't stoked for XP? XP is the OS that got me into computing. Before XP computers were a novelty to me. When XP came out they finally seemed powerful enough to accomplish cool things with.
Launch of Windows 7 was pretty exciting too. Felt very modern, especially with the updated Aero UI.
I learned a lot with XP because it required constant trouble shooting. Was a buggy mess imo. I was more excited about hardware advancements and cool games at that time.
Nah not really. Win2k pro worked pretty well for me
MacOS X was freaking huge tho
