Who knows what the Tweeter was talking about.

My memory is that my $5,500 Micron still took forever to do random stuff in Windows 98 SE.

Everything opens instantly on my Windows 2022 machines - desktop, background applications, whatever, on Zen3 and Zen4. Would it perform similarly well on older stuff? Probably.

Is the complaint about Windows 11? People have pointed to the bloat, which is certainly the biggest part of the story. Why does Windows 11 have so much bloat? There isn't one straight answer. It's bad for everyone, because the slow OS makes it harder to write software people will Just Pay For.
