    If not for internet security concerns, I would daily Windows 7 until they stopped making x86 chips altogether. Microsoft finally got everything right. Briefly.

        It was a low-bullshit implementation. Windows 7 felt like an update to 2000 - as if ME, XP, and Vista never happened. None of that Fisher-Price interface. They had it on lock!

        And then they spat out an OS for tablets.

          I loved Windows 7. It hurts a little every time I come across someone still running it as a daily driver and I recoil in horror as I recommend basically anything else

      i fucking loved windows 7 so much dude. no telemetry hoops to jump through, no always-online, no “this won’t take a minute ;)” snarky ass tongue-in-cheek loading screens. give us back functional progress bars and the Aero theme
