Today in HN: A billion armchair rants about Windows 2000 being the best UI forgetting just how much it actually sucked at usability or accessibility features.


I'll have to admit that I don't know about its accessability features, but I was at least as productive in Windows 2000 and XP as I am in todays systems.


In Windows 10 i lost a lot of time because of UI bugs: double click registered on single mouse clicks, UI elements dissapearing when connecting monitors, no scrollbars, no window border, no titlebar.


It's possible that people remember how much it sucked, but they also recognize that the UI sucks even more now.
