[@barfooguy]

[@YoukipsD]

I agree. Windows XP and 7 was Microsoft's best designed operating system on desktop PC IMO. I still do not like the UI of Windows 8, 10, or even 11. Since they all try to accomodate both the desktop PC and tablet, which reflects in their poorly designed UI. Windows 7 had a lot more compact UI that was fit for a desktop PC and made sense in such environment. These days, I find modern Windows OS not intuitive enough to use and would rather use macOS instead. The problem though is, even Apple is going down the similar path in trying to merge the UI of the OS so that you get seamless transition from tablet to PC. This came at the cost of later version of macOS (especially after Big Sur) having more spaced out traffic light buttons which doesn't look good and feels like a waste of space when using desktop PC. Even their menubar looks worse now. But macOS's degradation isn't as horrible compared to the drastic change Windows had gone through, especially from windows 7 to windows 8/10/11. So overall to me at this point, it's about picking the lesser of two evils when it comes to using modern OS that's less well designed for desktop PC. And macOS for me is the preferred option. For gaming though, you obviously still need to use Windows OS, which brings up another irony. Windows 7 was considered by many to have been the best operating system for gaming. Since with windows 7, you were able to easily turn off windows desktop composition which lead to lower input lag for your mice. This is impossible to do with later version of windows. So the only good thing about newer version of windows is their hardware compatibility. But the input lag latency just doesn't match compared to windows 7.

[@TrigrZolt]

Interesting how you brought up macOS's because the transition looked so seamless (I don't use macOS, but I still try to stay up to date on what's going on) that I don't see many people go controversial mode like people did from Windows 7 to 8.1. Although some people don't like it when Apple plays it safe and being "late to the game", we can clearly see that the approach is causing them less problems.

I’m still using Windows 8.1 on my pc from 2014 and it’s been solid ever since. I’ve barely run into any issues with programs not opening, except from the occasional crashing and long loading times that I fixed just by upgrading my ram and changing to an ssd. Other than that it’s been great for me ever since and one of the best OS’s that Microsoft has ever released. Windows 7 is still a better choice but windows 8.1 isn’t too far off. It’s definitely up there with Windows 7 for sure. I use Windows 10 on my Dell XPS 15 and I have no plans to update to Windows 11 whatsoever. Even though my device is compatible, I just feel it’s a huge downgrade from Windows 10 overall, I just don’t like it in general and will stay with Windows 10 till 2025 and maybe even further. Sure I’ll be at risk with security updates but would you rather have an OS that doesn’t function properly and completely makes your system feel unusable and slow with so many glitches or the previous version that feels like a solid rock maybe not as secure that performs as intended. I know what I’d rather want. I really feel Microsoft and all these other companies like Apple have kind of lost their touch when it comes to releasing solid and stable software on launch; instead of pushing out something that appears to be in beta and needs a ton of QOL updates to make it feel like what it should’ve been on day 1. Great video Trigr I really had fun reliving my nostalgia remembering how much I used Windows 7 and 8.1 🤩

I switched to Linux after 10, and hopped several distros before I went with Xubuntu on my main machine. I use Debian Sid (originally Debian Bookworm, which is the latest stable release,) on an older machine of mine, and it runs very well on its limited hardware (a Dell Latitude D630 with 2 GB of DDR2 RAM.) I used to be very against Linux, as I trashed it for being an OS only used by nerds, geeks, and hackers, but I gave in and installed it anyway.

[@foxyloon]

As someone who did IT support in the Windows Vista/7 era, I frankly do not miss that OS from a sysadmin perspective. Yes, 7 fixed a ton of issues with Vista and was a solid user experience, but it was still an iteration of Vista under the hood. Everything from installing updates/apps, driver issues, even doing netboot deployments was like pulling teeth when things didn't work. Times that by 50 workstations in an office and my frustration only grew. Windows 8/10 had a ton of nice under-the-hood improvements that made it much easier to deploy, maintain and is more widely supported on newer machines. I find it pretty ironic how the later versions of Windows improved in functionality but regressed in the overall user experience department. Although my belief is that an OS is an utilitarian tool that shouldn't be bloated with flashy UIs and unnecessary software to begin with, I can acknowledge that Aero is still gorgeous looking. Aero was also known for consuming a ton of resources to run, especially on older hardware of the time, and I've always seen it as unnecessary bloat. That's why I rmuch prefer the minimalist design of Windows 10 and recent MacOS revisions. Less distractions, less bloat. The only reason Microsoft keeps including the legacy versions of said apps is for backwards compatibility reasons. Since a lot of their corporate clients spent millions on making hand-coded software using Microsoft's garbage proprietary solutions, Microsoft essentially painted themselves into a corner when those corporate clients couldn't realistically replace those software solutions when support ended. That's why Windows still has remnants of Windows NT deep in the kernel, and also a ton of baked-in legacy apps that nobody else realistically uses anymore. It's for those megacorp clients who have no choice but to keep relying on deprecated software. Apparently Windows 11 is a departure from all this, their first attempt to re-make Windows from scratch, which is why it seems like that OS has taken several steps back in functionality and usability.

[@franci2a]

(The legacy apps can at least be updated in a basic level without breaking any compatibility whatsoever. E.g.: a really finished msstyle, dark mode (optional), new icons, at least Segoe UI in dialogs. All of those things which are just resource changes are all absent in 11, yet are the easiest things to do.)

[@SilverSonic1992]

A common misconception is that Windows 8 and later versions have a faster UI compared to Vista/7's Aero, but in reality, it relies on the same dwm.exe component introduced with Aero. One of the benefits of Aero was that it offloaded UI rendering onto the GPU which freed up CPU time, so this actually isn't bad at all. The difference is that Windows 7/Vista would only enable Aero if your graphics hardware was sufficient. With the removal of Classic theme in versions after 7, there is no way to revert to running the UI without dwm.exe without extensive modification. On the flip side, graphics hardware is much improved than it was in 2009, but it is still an unfortunate removal.

[@aRandomPersonOfTheInternet]

While it is actually possible to do this with Windows 8(&8.1) (to the point it looks completely identical and yet, still native), Windows 10 removed a ton of stuff from their classic apps, replacing it with UWP apps like Settings, Photos, Taskbar and its fly outs like sound and network (which are all based off UWP now). There are also thousands of 3rd party UWP apps. The thing with UWP is that there’s no way you can customise it without breaking it.

[@MSPlaid]

@@aRandomPersonOfTheInternet There are some ways to get some classic apps back but you’d be right on that regard.

[@Dragon-mv6vy]

@@aRandomPersonOfTheInternet That uwp shit is truly made rather for phones than for desktop, and the ui is much more similar to andriod style flat color apps... The actual creation process of the ui is also horrible, i make sometimes programs for my use, and from what i know uwp, maui apps etc they all don't fu** have a civilized drag & drop option, there's no visual editor where you simply can drop the widgets rather you have to code it, specify the height and the posiution and than see in preview how it looks which is horrible considering that in a visual editor you just drop the widget where you want and that's it, it much resembles a more clunky html, it's truly weird...

I use GNU/Linux as daily driver. Windows 7 would be great if there would be GPT, UEFI and WSL. BIOS and MBR are dead and WSL is very nice feature

[@FlyboyHelosim]

UEFI is a complementary BIOS upgrade and has nothing to do with the operating system.

[@andrejbartulin]

@@FlyboyHelosim Well, new systems don't support BIOS boot mode and Windows 7 does not support UEFI and GPT

[@andrejbartulin]

Windows developer (not me) who don't have access to WSL can have mental issues (kinda joke but you get the point)

[@FlyboyHelosim]

@@andrejbartulin Dude, UEFI is not OS dependent and GPT support has been there in some form since Windows XP. All the UEFI really does is provide a graphical interface for BIOS settings (although not all cases). Of course Windows 7 supports GPT, I'm using drives over 2Tb on it. It's also not cool to 'like' your own comments.

[@andrejbartulin]

@@FlyboyHelosim You can install it but it is little harder and using Windows 7 in 2022 is not the best choice because lot of apps like Electron dropped Windows 7 suppprt so newer VS Code don't work anymore on Windows 7,

TrigrZolt, I have a question, Could Microsoft start blocking local movie and TV show files from people’s local hard drives on copyright grounds similar to KZbin so that way people can’t download movies and TV shows on Microsoft computers anymore, so e.g. if people download like a movie file or movie photo or movie clip video, it will probably say “This file contains content from Disney (or whatever company DWA International, Fox, Sony Pictures Movies & TV Shows, Comcast, NBCUniversal, Warner Bros. Films, WBTV, WMG, UMG, Sony Music Entertainment, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Viacom or whatever), who has blocked it on copyright grounds’, That is an example, and Microsoft would probably call the companies and say to them “[insert company (movie, TV show or music company) here], Can you please block this file from this guy’s hard drive, it’s copyright infringement”, and maybe they might do like 3 copyright strikes or 3 Microsoft community guidelines strikes on your hard drive similar to KZbin, and if you get 3 copyright strikes or 3 Microsoft community guidelines strikes, your drive is down forever, what do you think of this idea?

[@jimandersen3003]

You people realize that W10 and newer require MS to have access to your computer, right? Not happening in my world!

In some ways I wish I was still using 7 as my primary OS, simply because I despise the direction that Microsoft is going in. They are way too controlling over what the user can do with their system and getting worse by the day, not to mention the massive amounts of telemetry Windows 10 gathers. Frankly speaking, I don't find Windows 10 to be more secure than Windows 7 because I don't see Microsoft as any more trustworthy than some random hacker. Sure, maybe Microsoft won't start making fraudulent charges to your bank account but they are still selling your private data to whomever their partners are. I also despise this forced internet integration Microsoft is pushing. I passed on getting certain games I was looking at because of shenanigans like this and I'm definitely not interested for my operating system. I absolutely do *not* like the idea that Microsoft can just flip a switch and shut me out of my system because they don't like the opinions I'm pushing on the internet or simply because they had some systems failure. The future that Microsoft and other big tech companies are pushing is *not* secure for you and me, it is secure for *them* because they intend to have all of the control.

[@Dragon-mv6vy]

yea, i said straight to them that they are treating customers like re***s, like if you have some down syndrome and they have to control you.... gtfo, i don't needs windows help, i got win 11 and 8.1 with 7 as secondary systems, and both on 8.1 and 11 i had to disable all the abusive despotic sh*t that suspects everything of being a threat or virus...

[@darkprinc979]

@@WololoWololo2 Nah, I've switched primarily over to Linux at this point. Linux Mint was actually fairly easy to get into coming from Windows. The main limitations that I'm finding in this regard are that there are some games that rely on third-party software that just won't work on Linux, and Bluray playback can be pretty hit and miss since the decryption method required to play them is licensed from Sony and therefore can't be placed into video players willy nilly. Besides, Windows 7 ESU has also been over and done with for a while now, so if security were my main concern even that wouldn't be good enough.

[@wolfgangfrost8043]

I still use Windows 10 in 2024, and as far as those live tiles on the right of the start menu go? You can just unpin all of the default ones there and then resize it to be a single pane wide now that all the clutter is gone. It looks a lot like the classic Start Menu from Win 95 through Win 7 in "All Programs" view without all that annoying stuff on the side. Especially now that support for Windows 8.1 ended, a lot of those live tiles don't work anymore. They're a vestigial artifact of backwards compatibility with 8.1 & can easily be trimmed away since they no longer serve a purpose. Windows 11 isn't horrible, especially after you configure it the way you want it, but right now there's nothing you can do on Windows 11 that you can't do on Windows 10, so until it dips out of official support, I have no motivation to make that change.

I will say this: Windows 7 stands out even today as one of the most beautiful and nicely done OS's. So much so that if MS ever releases a Windows that can shift between the taskbar themes from Windows 98 to 10, the majority of people would default the Windows 7 Taskbar look. I don't mind the new explorer, but the taskbar looks so damn bland on Windows 10 and 11. And windows 11 can look even less fun than Windows 10, it's insane. The lack of transparency kills me, and the fact that MS doesn't add a slider for me to choose how transparent my taskbar will be annoys the hell out of me. It's like they want to ever forget Windows 7 aero ever existed. XD
