Windows 7

In light of all the shitty changes that windows 10 has adopted, can we get some windows 7 appreciation?

windows 7 is to 10 what XP was to vista

I'm using 8.1 since ever. I directly skipped Windows 7 using Vista 32 bit until 2013.

7 is starting to age, 8.1 is currently perfect. I hope it will last long. I won't install a shit OS on my computer.
>Compability, many Windows Vista/7 drivers work under 8
>Clean and modern taskbar and design
>New task manager
>No "app" design in system programs
>Can uninstall all "apps" and just use desktop versions
Also perfect support for older (C2D, Phenom, Athlon) as well as current hardware. Yet better performance on slow systems (C2D, 2 GB RAM) while Windows 10 becomes unusable with these systems.

post your windows 7 tops (;

>using an 8 years old OS
install Windows 8.1 you fucking mongloid retarded sack of nigger shit with down syndrome.

Where can I nab an iso

who's the real cia nigger here buddy

spotted the mongloid

nice try shill nigger

Break the dvd in half, slit your wrists for being a winfag shill.

Avoided Windows like the plague after they released Vista (switched to LiGNUX and OS X, then eventually dropped OS X and went full LiGNUx). Installed Win 7 on my main laptop's secondary drive last year for work purposes and have been digging it. Great support for my graphics card, and all I had to do to make it tolerable GUI-wise was slap on a squared aero theme (seven squared) and disable some unneeded desktop / composition effects. After that it was just a matter of installing the software I like, and using HostsMan + the AntiBeacon list as a supplement to a few other hosts files. Good stuff, pic related.

lemme guess youre a buttmad lincuck

Damn right, the world's servers don't run off of winblowz.

stop arguing and just fuck so you can give birth to a machine capable of dual-booting

fuck off nigger

Can anybody give me the updates that I need for windows 7 , and those which I have to avoid

>cygwin
>not babun
>notepad++
>not sublime text 3

>sublime text 3
not that guy, but...thanks. It's gonna take me some time getting used to, but I like their features from the front page already

It's just Vista: Less shitty edition tbqh.

What are you doing with altdrag in there?
And since you like green so much install the deviantart win7 custom theme, it's so fucking green.

Hey guys what's the best, most consistent, Windows 7 Activation?

the Microsoft one

...

i've been periodically making small changes to altdrag and optimizing the codebase (mostly to work better on skylake machines, but i'm trying to keep it running smoothly on other architectures while doing so). it's an easy project to work with, and i'll put all my changes up on github when the kinks are ironed out. i figure that if something's running in the background all the time, and i use it very frequently, it might as well work as efficiently as possible.

>babun
just a souped up cygwin. i spend 85-95% of my time on lignux anwyay, so don't need my cygwin install to get any faster than it is (i only use it for wget, curl, and compiling a few small foss windows programs anyway, mostly in C and Lua).

>sublime text
costs money, and as i mentioned, i'm only seriously doing any coding on windows to help with occasional optimizations and recompilation of a few small foss programs.

"Faster than it is" should be "fancier than it is"

Thinkpad T420 drivers are working flawlessly on it as they were designed for it so I like it.

System is responsive and easy to manage compared to 8.1/10 esp. booting to Safe mode.

>people actually consider W10 as a true 'Windows' OS

Top fucking kek

Shills here are ridiculous

I'm still on Windows 7 but I'm getting a new PC soon. how fucked will i be with windows 10?

>Implying Windows 8 wasn't Vista

>implying vista isn't 7 which is longhorn which is xp which is NT which is ms-dos

>sublime text 3
>not vim
have fun with that

win 7 HD remaster when?

>windows 7 explorer.exe 200% dpi glitch will never be fixed

Only thing I don't like about 7 and the gimped classic theme.

>not using amiga os

Vim is really slow though.

>Classic Shell
>good
>>>fast

user...

>tfw Microsoft has stated that W10 will be the final version of Windows
>tfw there will be no W11 to fix the W10 mess

yep. as a diehard linuxfag, I'm able to appreciate things like Windows 7 or macOS that just work properly.

>>windows 7 explorer.exe 200% dpi glitch will never be fixed
Which bug? I used 7 on a 4k screen at 200% scaling for a couple of days (was no my monitor). Everything worked fine.

the search bar in explorer.exe is stuck at that size and you cannot move it so it can be bigger/smaller. It's been known since 2010 or something and still hasn't been fixed and MS only has 2 years left to patch it.

Ah yes. I wonder what happens if you disable search? You can do that on 7 via "turn windows features on or off" and use something like everything to replace.

I had been using some original build of Windows 7 with Daz Loader for years, and I noticed that various things were getting laggy and shitty over time. For example, Firefox got to the point where having too many tabs open would result in 2+ GB of RAM being used and it eventually crashing with a couple Youtube tabs. Also, MPC-HC was ALWAYS juttery, even from day one. I'd just assumed that it couldn't get any better.

I recently installed Windows 8.1 and it's a major improvement. MPC-HC playback is now much smoother, and Firefox so far has only a minimal memory footprint no matter how many tabs I have open. The only real issue is getting used to the newer, shittier start menu and the fact that 80% of my programs are outside of Windows' built in alphabetized list. Why the fuck are programs not automatically alphabetized?

>the final version
What does that even mean?

>8.1 creates a unique ID used for tracking purposes.
I was able to install it without creating a Windows Live account. I just named my user account on the computer and skipped the password, same as how I did with every other Windows install.

THat UID has nothing to do with the Microsoft account. It's created regardless and sent to MS.

>tfw installed windows7 6 years ago and everything works like a fresh installation or better because I do weekly automated system maintenances and disabled the bloat from the OS and software

I actually tried reinstalling W7, reinstalling my graphics card and trying all sorts of different codecs several times to fix the MPC-HC jutter, but it was always shit. Probably had something to do with my graphics card, but who knows. Firefox has historically ALWAYS gone to shit after about a year of use on any W7 build, no matter if I'm keeping the system updated automatically or if I freeze all updates. It is such a shitty program.

Sooo... According to this thread what i should be installing is Win 8.1.

Okay.
Right.
Got it.
Last time was Win 10 LTSB, which i did, and it sucks.

>MPC-HC
Use a better player or find the right drivers for your videocard
>FF profile bloat
How about disabling ff updates, using an older version and export your shit and create a new profile and delete the old one every some time, you should be able to script it if your are a true Sup Forumsentlemen

Windows Chronicles when

>Use a better player or find the right drivers for your videocard
My money is on it being a driver issue. Changing to other video players didn't ever give me a very good result either. And I did try quite a few different drivers before giving up on it in Windows 7. There just aren't any.

>using an older version of FF
Enjoy your security exploits.

Fuck that, windows 95 hd remake when?

Just think how fucking sick dos would look in 4k 60fps. Or that screen telling you it's safe to turn off your computer.

>7 is starting to age
take ur meds retard

Why the fuck are you using Sup Forums without HTTPS? Doesn't it redirects you automatically?

It doesn't redirect you automatically, actually.

Well, fuck japmoot. He should at least type manually the adress though, no reason for his ISP to look at his traffic.

>He should at least type manually the adress though

I can't even tell you the last time i typed http:// let alone www.

>Or that screen telling you it's safe to turn off your computer.
If you had this it means you were poor and couldn't afford ACPI

>If you had this it means you were poor

Nigga i know i was poor, i grew up as me.

>he believes that Win 7 isn't being patched
The fuck, nigger?
