Funny enough, said blog post mentions about beta users mentioning that one the generic user icon looking like Hitler near the end when Windows XP was getting tested.

| − | :I've done a quick survey of everyone in the room and the answer to that is probably "Yes", with 100% of me not liking Vista. And that is [[1478: P-Values|statistically significant at a p>0.05 level]]! [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.211|172.70.85.211]] 14:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

| − | ::I actually like Vista. I've never had any problems with it, and it had the beautiful Aero aesthetic that was only really appreciated when Windows 7 was released. [[User:Vandalbane|Vandalbane]] ([[User talk:Vandalbane|talk]]) 02:05, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

| − | :::As a power-user, for me it marked the terminal decline of Windows being useful in 'just work, damnit' terms. XP was the perfect blend of NT robustness and 9x usability, then they started to add too many abstract and aesthetic-bells-and-whistles-over-everything changes (actually, XP's "Fisherprice" rounded buttons did that, too, but you could ignore them).
| |
| − | :::Vista added complications to the OS which caused cleaning up others' user-errors to be more... complicated. 8 annoyed ''even the everyday users'' enough that 8.1 was needed to bring it back in line with expectations, but still alienated me, 10 was "the last version of Windows they'd produce" but with the expectation of willingly accepting many more incremental updates that more easily broke perfectly servicable legacy products (or you stay offline, with other issues) and I haven't bothered touching 11 at all because who needs a major forced upgrade that we were told would never happen.
| |
| − | :::I've transfered my major computer use to other systems (while still retaining the 2K and XP systems that work how I need them for what I need them for) and where possible used an honest, not-at-all-Aero-like, desktop look that doesn't waste processor cycles on transparent pixels. And invent radical 'new' features (according to the ads) like being able to tile application windows (oh look, "tile windows vertically/horizontally" has been around since... at least Win 3.0, it seems, maybe earlier but I'd have to get some old system booted up to check).

Maybe I'm the only person who thinks like that, but I thought it worth putting down in the record. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.86.44|172.70.86.44]] 08:26, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
