And some people still use WinXP, Win 7, Win 8 etc...

At least you had a decent host firewall by then. Pre XP-SP2 you'd get malware just hooking up to the internet.

Later Windowses are full blown spyware with ads. If I had to use Windows for some reason it would be 7.

It's not difficult to de-shittify 10/11. There's a tool that automatically does it call ShutUp10.

It's arguably a bit shit from a business perspective, but has no real impact on power-users day to day.
