Didn't we eagerly await on updates in the good old days of Windows?

Fair point, the old school service packs and hotfix rollups were cool. But I think that sort of enthusiasm towards updates ended with XP, at least it did for me, because I switched to Linux permanently after Windows 7 came out.

XP was indeed when I stopped caring about Windows updates, SP2 was a huge deal - after that they where either "eh" or actively things I didn't want.

To be honest I think the reason I stopped care was more that I started using Linux as an OS in the 90's and over time more and more of my computing life was on Linux (except gaming) so by 2004 (or a little earlier) Windows was just for games.

The only Windows update that made me “eagerly await” is the Windows XP SP2.

And what an update it was.

I still remember how Windows ME looked at first, the feeling of something better. That didn't last long

Windows 7 was pretty neat.

....No. And those were not good days, unless your definition is fun is reinstalling OS
