Couple of things for me.
One is tiny croutons. I don’t see them anywhere anymore. They taste the same but it’s kind of a pain sometimes to keep the big ones on your fork. The small ones were a little more satisfying to snack on too.
Second is Blue Nehi. Never met anyone else that’s tried or heard of it. Damn it was good though. Big Blue is kinda similar but those always taste under carbonated.
Windows 7. no ads, no sudden candy crush, no cloud data stealing.
Windows 7 business philosophy but with modern windows features would be great.
For me it’s Vista. I’ve always felt like I’m the only person who actually unironically liked that thing. It just looked so good, and for my computer at the time at least, it also worked so good (I got a new one specifically for Vista anyway, so I didn’t have the complaints most people had).
7 felt like it improved in some areas (performance on weaker hardware, lack of bloat, better customisability, and so on) while in contrast it was basically nerfed in other areas (more generic design language, worse taskbar by default, too few new features, etc). It took me a short while before it would end up growing on me.
Vista was FULL of security issues though. I did PC support in that era and I kept going to one house in particular because they would pick up some crazy virus / Spyware from thier kid visiting sketchy porn sites. Didn’t matter what I did or how I locked it down, or what AV I installed he would manage to get it reinfected. After the 8th time or so I just made them buy a XP license and told them they need to have a hard talk with thier kid about all the sites he was visiting. Once I had XP installed and appropriate AV, it stopped being an issue.
Edit: Whoops, nevermind it was Windows ME. Carry on with your Vista love (though I’m still not sure why you loved it)
A lot of people misremember windows Vista sucking ass when actually it was ol’ Mistake Edition.
Thanks, and have a nice day (actually it’s night time where I live, so… have a nice night)
