    XP and 7 basically ran flawless on all my machines I had them on

    So you somehow missed alll the worms and viruses and toolbars and adware and spyware that was going around on windows for a decade?

    All the blue screens and driver issues and memory crashes and slowness and bugginess?

    I have never seen anyone saying they never had any issues with Windows before, you’re the first in 30 years

      The first BSoD I ever experienced for myself was on Windows 10, and they were incredibly rare for me. My XP machine was largely disconnected from the internet for the majority of its existence and the only issues it had were because it was a literal shitbox potato trying to do more than it could handle.

      I’m not saying it was 100% perfect, but compared to the horror stories everywhere else it might as well have been. Being careful online certainly helps, as I never caught a virus that I wasn’t intentionally trying to test just to see what would happen.
