I run Windows 11 unofficially on hardware from 2014, it was relatively high-end but it runs just fine (in fact it feels snappier than some modern systems).

If you try to run the latest OS on dirt cheap hardware, it's going to run bad no matter what. Macs are not immune to this, in fact they are much more susceptible to it.



I should have been clearer, I meant Office 2000 on 2000 era hardware. ie after 25 years of progress everything from MS feels worse.
