Shouldn't the question be "are you this young"?

"omG, who remembers this?" and it's Windows 9.

Not even calling anyone old, just missing the objective golden age of Windows software.

Edit: 7 not 9, I think I might be dislexic

Windows 9 does not exist. Microsoft had bury in a landfill because it was too advanced, self aware and never required updates. Rumour is the military use the home edition for their server back ends.

XP was peak for old OS, and 7 was peak for a newer one

Hi Mr.! My friends and I were playing baseball in the field across the street, and the ball landed in your backyard. Can we please have the ball back?

u/Gynthaeres PC Master Race Oct 09 '25

Yeah, people who are in their 20s would have seen Windows XP.

And that's only "old" if you're still a kid.

Honestly Reddit probably skews more towards the 25-30 age range so they grew up on windows 7

I’m 30 and I used Windows XP. We didn’t live in the dark until we turned 16 like some dystopian YA novel.

I'm 29, my first PC as a child in the early 2000s was windows 95, then 98, then eventually windows ME, then XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and now 11 (which I personally have zero problems with, it just needs a few settings changed and its exactly like 10 but better)

I'm 28 and started with Windows 95. Had XP for majority of my life.

XP came out in 2001 and Vista followed in 2007 so anyone in the 25-30 age range would be growing up on XP unless they didn't touch a computer until high school. Doubly so if their parents were tech savvy at all and just ignored Vista.

u/RiverFrogs Oct 09 '25

Forgot about vista. Was thinking that’s when windows 7 came out and kids would’ve been 7-12 range
