    I want Microsoft to go back to the good old days, when the desktop wasn’t cluttered with ads and product placement!

      And half finished programs that manage to both superseded the program it replaces, while still not having all of the features of the original.

      I like your sarcasm. But I do want to go back to that interface.

        @NaoPb @aeronmelon

        I prefer a graphical user interface free free from advertisements also.

        For the last decade, I’ve been using primarily Linux (which I started to experiment with more than 20 years ago). I also use some older Apple OS X systems and occasionally boot a workstation running Windows 7 (but that’s the dunce sitting in the corner).

      I miss XP SP3. Absolutely the best Windows OS made.

      I don’t know. Doesn’t look nearly as cool as my XP desktop with custom themes did.

          I assume there’s a decent chance that there are some Linux users that would feel similarly since there are 25 distros that are similar to XP

          Edit: re: your username, if you haven’t read Robert Aspirin’s Myth series, starting with Another fine Myth, you really should do yourself a favor and read them. They’re spoof fantasy. Funny and magical.

        Win98 had themes, and they were absolutely fantastic!!
