Windows 98 still had DOS built in right? I kind of have an itch to install it in a vm or something.

At least you can despyware 10...
Why should you need to? That's my beef with it. It means they don't respect you enough to give you something good in the first place and hope 99% won't bother.
I use arch BTW. But I liked XP and 7.

Most of windows products get increasingly worse over time. Security updates aside, I've never understood why the didn't just stop updating things to save themselves the money and save us the hassle.
I think Win10 started like that, but with time parts fell off until you were left with something shaped like a hammer.
