I remember the windows XP days when the operating system was just that, and not a system designed to track the user and extract as much value/money out of them as possible. It was simple enough that even my dad could use it, if I have to get my dad to use his laptop now he can barely even comprehend the start menu, and thus he mostly just sticks to his phone, I for one am moving to Linux soon as I backup all my files and never dealing with this shit again
I procrastinated doing this for years, then finally set up a NAS a few months ago and backed everything up so that I could make the switch. It was worth it.

XP phoned home. Win2K was closer to the pinnacle of Windows development.
