I totally did realize it because I upgraded it to Vista (don’t laugh, later service packs made Vista a good cheap OS)
EAGAMESSUCKSEEEEEEEE

Just get my old laptop out and do it again.
EnchantedElectron
Yes.. it was an upgrade to Vista, but I still came across it on other places, friends/neighbor/relatives house. Then Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10.. how time flies.

No, I didn’t. I only reinstall Windows when it dies, and a newer version has been around for 5+ years. Usually it just BSODs, refuses to boot, I say “well, fuck”, wipe C:/ and install the new version.
xXThe_Mask
No I absolutely did. I was so happy to get that copy of 7.

I did realize it because I upgraded to Windows Longhorn, which was the codename for Vista while it was going through beta.

Soon? I’m still rocking win7 on my laptop.

That day hasn’t come for me yet, I still use XP on one of my 3 machines at work 🤷♂️

For me, that day was when I first installed windows 11, like around December 2021. There were some initial hiccups but no regrets whatsoever. Windows 7 was better than XP, 10 was better than 7 and 11 while some people may not like change has made my life easier. The browser like tab management in the OS itself is a game changer. And snapping function is just icing on the cake

I’m still using it today. Service Pack 3.
One of the heartships of running an old CNC machine that only takes ancient software input.

Everybody realised it bro. They were shutting down to install a new windows
EpicInki
Jokes on you I’ll download them just to specifically use once every year and I’ll remember the day I use them 🙂

Bold of you to assume it was a graceful shutdown.

The funny part is imagining such emotion was being evoked by fucking Microsoft Windows.
I started with win 3.1 on 2.5″ floppy disks, and have used the majority of versions released since then, and while I certainly miss some of the features, what I think I miss the most is an operating system that is actually evolving in new and innovative ways, and not just releasing the same new crap with a new version number and a higher pricetag.

I can boot up and shut down XP today if I really wanted to.
sasquatch_melee
We still have an offline industrial system that the software runs on XP so I turn XP off multiple times a week.
subflame

Mavrickindigo

SuperElephantX
Boot it up in a VM so that now it’s your updated new last time to shut down Windows XP.
Thandius
im spinning up an XP VM just so I know exactly when.
Reasonable-Concept84
I probably pressed restart to load my USB stick with the next version, so…
I also switched from W10 to W11 lately and it’s been a good upgrade so far.
Novafro
No, I’ll know.
Because leaving Windows 10 will be a decision.
Despite it’s issues, it works great, so only something equal or greater (or forced to be equal) will do.
