For modern Windows operating system, i.e. >= Windows 10, getting rid of ads, weather, auto-update and search bar can improve UI usability significantly. Windows 95 was not stable enough back then. I believe Windows 2000 was the first OS that was easy to use and relatively stable. XP and 7 are both solid options too. I have used both MacOS X and modern MacOS (15) and the UI of X is definitely way better than the UI of 15. It is more clean cut.

98 was a very good os. I don't think many got 2000, XP was the major windows for millennials.

XP was almost a re-skinned 2000. Most drivers for XP worked under 2000 and viceversa.
