I don't miss physical spinning discs. Jesus fucking christ those things are so fucking slow. I don't miss windows vista either, or xp. I do miss windows 2000 UI experience.

I miss both, the good old days but also how technology was better because it was still made to work, by relatively competent people who tried their best, not by retarded indians in order to be the cheapest possible shit as it is today and filled with political brainwashing.
I used XP with the classic theme though, like practically everybody back then, nobody liked the blue and green default theme.
This WMP skin looks weird by today's standards but it has a strong 1997-2003 era vibe.

People don't miss how it looked like, they miss how it worked, you didn't have to jump through hoops to get something that looked 'cool' at the time, you could swap from that to 50 different other themes and it just worked, it was an insane concept that your PC could do that.

I still think this was peak design, no frills no questions about what is a button or what is a textbox, just simple functionality.

Windows XP still had the classic theme. Modern windows tries to look like Apple.

Both that and the visuals. It's not rocket science, not "had to be there" thing. You show XP weeb wallpaper to zoomers and they shit themselves too because it just says soul. And while visuals are achievable, the old mood sadly isn't entirety. Still flat shit isn't what most people want, it's just forced on us.

I really liked the windows 95 and 98 aesthetic, I liked DOS

Loved playin duke and doom

Windows XP and 7 were ugly to me dough, I don't feel nostalgic for it at all, windows 7 was especially bad and buggy

Windows 8.1 and 10 are good too, good performance and tiny footprint while remaining powerful, i can easily fit my windows 10 on a ram disk

Elder millennial here, yeah I miss it.
Today's UIs are dull and without soul.
What was wrong with aero though? It was still profession and looked good. Now UIs just look like a white piece of paper.
