    Installing windows for most of that time hasn’t been a thing people do. They bought a computer and it had the internets (the picture with the blue e) and the word (the picture with the paper and a W) and that was pretty much them sorted. We’re weird for knowing the difference and that’s not a bad thing to be.

      I remember reinstalling win95 almost daily because how it could break with just a power loss(which happened regularly to me then).

      But then I remembered 20 years ago is when winxp was already 4 years old.
