Seriously, XP had a reputation for being overloaded with bloat back in the day. Ironically, its now remembered as simple and uncomplicated, because all versions that came after were even worse in that regard.
@guenther@atom Indeed! Windows XP fact WAS like that, it was the first version of Windows that could display HTML content right in the file Explorer and AFAIR, some of the standard actions were links to resources on the Web even. It came with horrible bugs, like UP'n'P one.
@guenther@atom That allowed remote code execution under privileged account (!) and could be made slow down to a crawl with carefully forged IP packets. It's was a mess! Truly ironic it's remembered as something simple, stable and fun to use.
