It depends on the version. In Vista, the one mentioned, they certainly were. It you ran a computer using the minimum specs, it was almost unusable.

Yes, but I think Vista was an outlier in that respect.

It was certainly the most egregious I recall, but here's an article complaining about Windows 10 minimum specs too.

Here's one for Windows 11

Seems Windows 8 was ok

Vista came out over 15 years ago, it hardly seems relevant today.

The same could be said of Mac OS 10.4 at the same time. It was an absolute dog on systems without Quartz Extreme support.
