but also the version Microsoft discourages people from adopting.

Not surprising, because MS wants to push all the features (and ads, telemetry, etc.) to users regardless of whether they actually want them.

Indeed I wish MS would just keep supporting XP as the "Windows LTSB" with nothing but critical security patches, and keep doing it until the OS becomes nearly invulnerable to remote attacks.

I lol'd. You'd probably be pretty safe with Windows 3.11, Trumpet Winsock, and Netscape Navigator.

edit: so long as nobody got your public IP and used Winnuke on you.

I think this is what the ReactOS project will eventually become (which to me would be a great thing). They just released v0.45, if you haven't seen it yet.
