Legacy software Memes

The Grim Reaper has already claimed Windows 7 and Windows 8, leaving bloody trails behind as it knocks on Windows 10's door. Microsoft's operating system lifecycle in one perfect image! The company's habit of killing off perfectly functional OS versions to force upgrades is like watching Death work through its corporate roadmap. Windows 7 users fought valiantly but ultimately succumbed, Windows 8 barely had time to be hated properly, and now Windows 10 users are nervously eyeing Windows 11 while Death comes knocking. The circle of software life continues—except it's less "circle" and more "forced march toward obsolescence."

Remember when Windows Search actually found your files? The classic Windows XP/7 search was like that reliable old dog who'd fetch exactly what you asked for. "Here's your tax return from 2012, right where you left it!" Fast forward to Windows 10/11, and the search bar has the memory of a goldfish with amnesia. Type "budget spreadsheet" and it's like "Did you mean: let me Bing 'what is a spreadsheet' for you? Or perhaps open Edge? Or show you completely unrelated system settings?" Microsoft somehow took a perfectly functional tool and "upgraded" it into digital dementia. The true Windows evolution: from "fetch" to "what's a file?"
