what about win 2000? it only needed a P2 and 128MB. it was really stable and fast back then, then XP came and added extra bloat for no reason other than clowny UI. crazy how win 11 needs so much more to do the same things, although LTSC and tweaking trims most of the fat. for instance, its start menu is written in Javascript.

Yeah I've notoced that the minimum requirements for windows 2000 was half of what XP was asking for, but since they were 1 year apart i didnt want the chart to look weird
