And for the folks that prefer to bash XP (Fisher Price UI or whatever): XP 64 was the first (and so far only) version of Windows in the chain to not be reachable by any upgrade path whatsoever (where at least Windows 11 can still be reached by upgrading 64 bit Windows 10 and so on, back to XP 64). So, arguably, it's at least (if not more) at fault than 11 - depending which brings more joy for one to blame.

Windows 95 was really the one which made the story interesting (the important bridge between 16->32), so no help to those that preferred NT or other OSs at the time and wanted an excuse to bash it :p.
