You were a kid Back then, still enjoying life. Now you're old and miserable, it has nothing to do with Windows XP being comfy.
Camden Moore
the OS itself wasn't comfy, the years when it was the main OS were comfy
John Peterson
compatibility and to save 500% on support calls (funny shit: everytime you run steam it grants the user group full control ntfs permissions)
Aiden Ramirez
win95 was my first os
xp is still top comf

Because it was usable and didn't waste CPU cycles on telemetry

Same.

You don't know what you've lost until it's gone.
Even though it had so many holes, it felt like it was pure and no always-on Cortana and telemetry.

Dude I used ME forever. I was the last of my friends to switch to XP. Looking back that was an autistic choice, I should have converted much sooner.
Grayson Scott
win98SE was better than both until it started becoming too old to run modern hardware and software. XP was not any more secure and was harder to use.
Windows 7 and Windows 10 have been alright.
I switched to Slackware in about 2003 then kept on linux for myself after that, although I still admin windows computers to this day. For my purposes, XP was just a shitty broken NT 5.1
Daniel Peterson
software gets worse faster than hardware gets better
Ian Walker
it was usable because hardware constraints kept the designers from completely going mad
Wyatt Collins
Windows ME was nice. I only switched to XP because the new computer wouldn't run ME.

nostalgia. when it was released everybody shat on the "fisher-price-gui" and the abysmal performance. it took microsoft two service packs to give it the stability of win2k and another one to be what it was promised to be at day 1.
