Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 Shell and every associated core feature and element are actually broken, and have been like this for many months.
Well compated to others it did kind of just work. Plug&play, USB, most simple peripherics didn’t need a driver to be manually installed and configured.
Windows 98 SE, maybe. We didn’t gain much traction there until about Win2k or XP.
Windows 98 in its original flavor didn’t even support USB mass storage devices out of the box without drivers. Hands up everyone who remembers having to carry around one of those tiny driver CDs that came in the box with every single Sandisk Cruzer for a couple of years? Yeah? How quickly we forget.
When did Microsoft steal Apple’s marketing material?

Yeah usb came with 98-SP2 IIRC
My recollection is that USB on windows was kind of a dumpster fire until XP. Or maybe that was just printers in general.
More like they adopted Bethesda’s marketing material after they acquired ZeniMax
