MODERATORS
As usual I think that sentiment was retroactive, certainly once Vista came out. At launch, people hated the Fisher-Price look of the Luna default UI. Like, a lot. The switch to the NT based kernel for the home version of Windows also caused a shitton of people's hardware and peripherals not to work anymore because they needed new drivers and the manufacturers of said gadgets -- if they were still in business -- could not be arsed. Some of this could be alleviated by bullying that hardware's Windows 2000 drivers into working with XP. Some of it could not.
I liked XP in its own era, it's not just nostalgia. Although computers and the Internet in general were very exciting to me back then.
They should've just used the Silver theme instead of blue luna. Unless it didn't exist on launch.
