Da Linux beardudeNow I don't have to boot up Windows XP just to hear how awesome Windows XP was!I still remember when Microsoft actually thought about the user.

njsg<a href="https://tilde.zone/@movq" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@movq</a> I don't remember details about the "Documents" in the file search, I'd have to check.As for "Active Desktop", didn't that come with an IE version that could also be installed in Windows 95? (But yes, it came out of the box with 98)The explorer look can, IIRC still be changed to smaller icons, and the "Web view" can be disabled. The web view also means you can add a lot of HTML code to the folder display, I think (was this "folder.htt"?).I think some regard 2000 as "peak UI". I'd say the peak is for sure somewhere in these versions, 4.x and NT 5.0.Also: one feature I really miss from these days is floating desktop toolbars: <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/444427/how-can-i-create-a-separate-toolbar-from-the-task-bar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://superuser.com/questions/444427/how-can-i-create-a-separate-toolbar-from-the-task-bar</a><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>
