    People forgot already…

    EVERY SECOND WINDOWS IS GOOD Win XP good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad, 12 good?

    Only this time around Linux got to the point where everyday users can switch and only run into debiliating problems twice a year, so MS is losing customers.

        You say so yet 10 is fast, convienient and easy to use. Wouldn’t call it better than 7, but it was good.

          Nah, 10 is the primordial ooze from which all the current vile evil coming out of microsoft was formed.

          7 was faster, more convenient, less in your way, and just overall a superior product. No microsoft OS has even equaled what 7 was, much less be superior to it.

            Straight up said I wouldn’t call 10 better than 7. So what’s your point? 10 is, overall, good OS. Not best, not great, good.

                Agree to disagree. 10 is fast, reliable and convienient. I agree it served as a sandbox for all the shit they crammed into 12, but it doesn’t change anything.

                Still would prefer 7. Kinda loved 7.

                  And thats where we can come together. 7 was the best, the peak of microsofts excellence.

                  I’d probably still be running it today if I could, but it died, and my choice was Windows 11 or Linux… so I went linux, and never looked back.
