Makes me miss windows 7.
https://xkcd.com/528/
Windows 7 was peak. I still miss it.
Aero was the prettiest UI, I held onto Win7 because of it until EOL 😢
It's simply the best Windows. Like, it's still not as good as Linux for anything a bit complex, but at least it's actually usable, fast, doesn't feature ads in the start menu, doesn't have built-in AI shitware, and has a decent customization capability.
I ran vista from release, never had any probmems with it. Admittedly it did help that I ran it on a brand new pc. Does show that the problem wasn't the os but rather their aggressive push to get it on PCs that weren't suitable
