Windows XP
When Windows XP first released, people criticized it for having a theme that they hadn’t seen before in Windows. People thought it was very kiddish and appealing to children, not being taken as seriously for the large userbase of the time. There were also criticisms about how fragile Internet Explorer was (I’m not kidding, I was there and Internet Explorer back then was at its most insufferable.).
But these days, just because of how bad Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and now 11 have been, people have praised Windows XP so much.
The LED lighting transition
Not sure about that one.
Did cut my elecricity bill by 20% or so while still managing to finally adequately illuminate my home.
While not perfect color-wise and kinda expensive at the beginning, LED’s still were much better than the coventional energy saving bulbs, which l omitted because they got me headaches.
I remember our hydro company in my small Ontario, Canada town sending out free LED bulbs to people if they made under a certain amount. We were able to replace nearly all the lights in our house
