Consider this my lighthearted fuck you. System 7.5 was the last good Apple OS. Really though, once you look through all of the Apple greed, pretentiousness, and fuckery OSX has some damn good aspects.
I beg to differ. In the second era of Mac OS, Mac OS 7.6.1 reigns supreme. 7.5 had bugs - lots of bugs. They fixed some with 7.5.1, but it wasn't until 7.6.1 that things truly stabilized on an enterprise scale.
In the first era of Mac OS (before it was dubbed "Mac OS"), 4.2 was the best system. 6.0.4 was okay, but 4.2 (while it did have limited capabilities compared to the systems which came later) was far more rock solid.
OSX took a while to get good, and there have been ups and downs. I don't follow it anymore but I think Snow Leopard was pretty good.
Recently Microsoft thoughtfully "upgraded" me to Windows 11. I took a look around and promptly said "Fuck that!" and reverted back to Windows 10. It's no Windows 95, but it seems decent enough if you know how to get around all the twisted pajeet coding.
I stand corrected.
