Windows is 40 years old

Windows Vista was ahead of its time. The hardware during its release was only good for running Windows XP at best.

In the meantime every Mac was running the hardware accelerated Aqua UI for years. Windows Vista was incredibly unoptimized.

And MacOS is old too you still got to use all the keyboard commands!

in your dreams, I remember os 360/370 jcl . manual after manual coupled with manuals for deciphering error codes. macOS just does rise to that level of nonsense (that was old school)

I skipped Vista altogether and went straight to Windows 7.

Had a G4 iBook for a little while in grad school, around 2005 or 2006, but it wasn’t really useful for what I was doing. Don’t remember what macOS it ran, but I think it had Aqua?

my guess is 10.4 or so, my daughter was in grad school then with an iBook g4, she still has it, it is on macOS 10.4

Aqua got introduced in 2001, so yeah. In 2005-2006 Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger was the latest release.
