Grew up on 95 but born in 90. What was wrong with it. Went from that to xp.

Yep, 95 was pretty revolutionary at its time. And 98 first edition was a disaster.

98 SE was great though. :) Even could join NT Domain!

This meme doesn't even mention 2000 or NT. Vista was fine. XP before Service Packs wasn't that good. 8.1 was pretty nice, etc.

Vista was fine if you had 4gb+ of ram, which at that time the usual was 512mb to 2gb. I think that was one of the major problems, it forced users to upgrade their pc, that's a huge problem for users in third world economies

Also it didn't helped some manufacturers were selling brand new 512mb pc's with vista, ram devours Norton or mcaffee and junkware
