No the transparency effect means at least vista.
For whatever reason I always forget about vista.
Had to gave Vista in order for windows 7 to be good. Microsoft can't have two in a row be good. XP good, ME bad, win 7 good, win 8 bad, win 10 good, win 11 bad.
in fairness, it was a completely forgettable os
Vista brought a lot of good features and improvements, but it required very high specced systems and ran like garbage on the lower-end systems that were common at the time. It also tried to make too many changes too quickly.
It also had a bunch of driver issues, because it introduced new driver models that were more reliable/stable, some of which are still used today, like WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) for display drivers. This required manufacturers to make some big changes to their drivers, and not all manufacturers are great at writing drivers.
So yeah it was kinda terrible at the time, but it laid a mostly solid foundation to build on top of. By the time Windows 7 came out, PCs had better specs, and manufacturers had fixed all the issues with their new drivers (resulting in far, far fewer BSoDs compared to older versions of Windows). Windows 7 was good because of Vista, not in spite of it, and a lot of the improvements attributed to Windows 7 were actually introduced in Vista.
I had Windows ME, so vista wasn't really one I used until later because of that. I think I eventually switched and then 7 came out. Either that or my dad had Vista.
