Man, that 1995-2001 era Windows UI was like, peak Windows.

It was so crisp and clean. Visual C++ and Visual Basic of the time were far from perfect, but they let you just get things done(tm)

XP was right around the corner and it's been downhill from there.

Do you remember how snappy it was! im using an i9 with 32gb on win11 right now and there is noticable lag opening paint and notepad, typically 2 seconds.
