Microsoft managed to make every other release of Windows good. 95 good, NT 4 bad, 98 good, 98 SE bad, 2000 good, Me bad, XP good, Vista bad, 7 good... The plan with Windows 10 was to light their desktop market share on fire in the hopes they could see iPads in the distance and try to chase them. Windows 11 was codenamed "give your toxic ex a second chance."

I kind of remember 98SE being an improvement. Otherwise agree though

Nah, 98SE was a clear improvement over the base 98.
