Windows 7 was the last good Windows. It was a nice polished OS that had the last decent search feature. 8 was a mess (it started without a start button) and then all the bloat/ads that came with 10 and above

Windows XP was the last good Windows. It had zero bloat, and heck, it encouraged you to use an admin account as your daily account. It didn't have those pesky UAC notifications, and it would allow you to install each individual Windows KB Update. It didn't have that high RAM usage that the Aero design had. There was no built in firewall until a later service pack, but you could just opt out of that update.

I think you're really only remembering XP after SP3. XP in its original form was clunky, buggy and unreliable.

It had zero bloat

Wait are you trying to be funny?

it encouraged you to use an admin account as your daily account.

This is bad. You should not do this, especially not on anything connected to the internet. You should definitely not do this on an XP system connected to the internet.

I've eaten the onion, haven't I?

we used to call Windows XP as "Windows Xtra Problems" back in the day
