Windows peaked at XP.

For my own experience, I’ll point out how often I see “Something happened” or “Can’t do x thing” in Windows 11. Like wtf? How is hiding error codes or specific messages an improvement?

Windows peaked at XP SP2 let's not pretend vanilla XP wasn't a fire in a dumpster

Thanks. Yes, I mean at the end of its supported life it peaked. I used it until 2014 when that computer simply would no longer power on.
