The Windows XP view for music folders was perfect

Why has it never come back?

It was TOO good, tech companies hate anything good these days

Windows Media Player was great back then too. Creating playlists and syncing with peripherals just werked. XP was the drag and drop, ultra portability era.

I once riced my Linux Laptop to look like Windows XP as much as possible, and most normies I showed it to couldn't tell the difference. If you want to have an oldschool Widows experience, ironically Linux is your better option.

Fight me irl, /g/ troons. I love Linux. I would marry the OS if I could.

They obviously did not actually use it. You can make linux superficially look like windows, but its hollow. The functionality is not there.

100% unironically THIS!!!

Tech that has no room for improvement has no way to be resold as an "upgraded" or 2.0 version.
If you don't care about that, and decide to make the perfect tech then once you've been acknowledged as perfect, every competitor will have no choice, they'll be forced to copy you, then all that work will be for nothing. This is the fatal flaw of commercialism. It abhors perfection because it can only be sold one single time. Flawed products can be resold over and over again, being rebranded as "improved" once they're acknowledged as flawed. All the tech sold today is just an acceleration of this ideology.
