> Windows 95. No upselling services. No automatic updates

Even Windows 95 came bundled with MSN on the desktop which had a paid monthly fee to access. And its lack of automatic updates was a real problem, as you had to manually find the service packs and security patches. The automatic updates in Windows XP were vastly more convenient.

Automatic updates are needed for security. The only era when you didn't need them was pre-Internet. They're not something we want to get rid of.
