Holy nostalgia blast. My mom absolutely insisted the family computer with W7 had all the stock widgets on the desktop at all times. I played so much of that stupid goddamn parrot puzzle to pass the time.

Ghosting was common on old CRTs and LCD panels, and it's made worse with black UI elements.

Also fonts look so much better against dark UIs as monitor PPI increased.

I dunno, if you had a gaming rig back then you wouldn't have vista installed but XP.

I pirated vista pretty soom after its release and don't remember having anything wrong with it. In fact, I thought it was pretty damn cool. New tech was generally still exciting back then to me.

Back then you'd want to squeeze as much performance as you could and vista's fancy UI took some system resources. Also not many people had more than 4GB of RAM installed when Vista came out, and most games were developed as 32-bit exes so 64bit was kind of pointless.
A lot of people skipped vista and didn't upgrade until 7.

the average pc had 256mb of ram back then, vista was slow as fuck, people would update to it, don't like it and then go back to xp, hell I knew some people still running win98 back then.

I fucking miss the Vista aesthetic so much. It was a great OS by SP1.

Homeworld 2. Specifically because we tried installing it on friend's system to play on LAN but it didn't work on Vista.
I just completely skipped Vista myself.
