Windows users should update 7-Zip to version 25.00 or later to fix two significant “path traversal” vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-11001 and CVE-2025-11002) that can allow remote code execution, caused by the handling of symbolic links in ZIP files.
But yeah, it was the most polished and performant Windows for years - lean and mean. I completely skipped the candy-coated bullshit of XP and eventually had to move to 7 solely for hardware compatibility reasons when I finally had the money to buy modern gaming hardware. What a disappointment that was.
Windows 2000 was released before I was born.
But I did use 2000 in a 86Box emulated machine. It just feels so good to use. Professional users were treated well!

Oof, right in the middle age!
