Does Microsoft even have any data worth saving for longer than a week?
Come on, don't be like that, of course they do.
Remember Windows 2000, that was pretty good, even their latest real os, Windows 7, was fantastic.
Their flight simulators have been great.
The rest, well we need warning examples.

R.I.P. Win2K, the best, most efficient OS that M$ ever produced - it was all downhill from there, AFAIC. They totally dishonored you with that cartoony UI they slapped onto the next release, & it just got increasingly more bloated BS from there.
Microsoft golf was pretty cool
