MODERATORS
Windows 1.0: Just four sticks tied together with rough twine, not attached to any building or anything. Just held in the frame of the photograph in mid air by a pair of really hairy hands.
Windows 12: Same as Windows 11, except missing a window on the door all together.
Windows ME: The driver's side window of a clown car.
Windows 95: Identical to Windows 98.
(There are a lot more like CE, NT, 2000, Server, FLP, RT, Mobile, etc, but I'll end my list there.)
Also, the photo gives way too much credit to Vista. Also, everything from XP and after should at least have bars on the windows. Having to phone home to activate was always unreasonable. The fact that things are way worse now doesn't mean earlier versions were unrestrictive by a long shot. (And believe me. People in XP's era were also horrified at how restrictive and enshittified XP was compared to previous versions.)
Windows 13: The "window" is back in but actually it's just a 1 way mirror so they can look in but you can't look out
No because it worked most of the time
