Ever since Windows 8, Microsoft has shown to be a sadist.

Windows ME wasn't a sadist. It would have to actually work to get that far. The best thing that happened to a laptop I had which came with ME installed was to put Win98 on it. Ran great after that.

Windows ME was a bastardization of the NT and DOS environment. I was a Microsoft support analyst at the time. From the insiders perspective, it was the biggest pile of shit

ME was a freak of software development, not an outright sadistic experience.

Windows Vista would like a word.

Eh, Vista itself wasn't that bad, the issues stemmed from both marketing way to low quality devices as compatible, and developers getting used to UAC.

Also, Vista did not have the shitty new settings app.
