Give me one reason why this wasn't one of the best, if not the absolute best consumer operating system to ever drop

Give me one reason why this wasn't one of the best, if not the absolute best consumer operating system to ever drop.

Protip: you can't.

Nigga, I'm still on Windows 7.

It's moribund. You won't use it too much longer.

being this retarded

Yea, me too.

You'll soon be forced to change it. Believe me.

Not safe

Fucking jews.
They truly want to spy on people don't they?

Vic 20 for the win

Windows 7 doesn't support DirectX 12 so when more and more games start using the multi-core technology of processors (most only use a single core only at the moment) you'll suffer a fair bit in performance.

Planned obsolescence aside, it was the best consumer OS to release. One of the best in history, probably the best. Now it's obviously outdated but that doesn't change the past.

Yeah, I totally agree. When I started using (and supporting) windows 7 I was pretty happy with it compared to 8 and 10 which initially were a bitch to use and support.

Because it was 98SE

R.I.P

MSFT is ***fucking clueless*** -- there's some fundamental lack of joie de vivre, some basic, utter cluelessness that trips MSFT up every fucking time. Too many dothead engineers or something. MSFT just doesn't get it on a profound, molecular level. They're idiot geeks and they make an idiot geek product.

Buy a Mac. Live happily.

>Buy a Mac. Live happily.
Enjoy spending boatloads of money on multi-year old hardware to run an OS that still has a completely fucking broken GUI and almost no basic needed software pre-packed.

Who said I'm gonna change to win10. I'll probably stick to Linux when the time comes

This was a very stupid comment. Mac os is very good workflow OS only an idiot would say otherwise. Its not for playing games.

go to Sup Forums and say it again to find out how wrong you are

It is, still use it, love the auto download of drivers if you have internet

If I switch from my hdd to a solid state drive, do I need a new windows key if I attempt to install the same windows version on that solid state drive? Only thing keeping me from upgrading from hdd to ssd

>Mac os is very good workflow OS
no businesses run macs. aqua being chronically broken and the use of the oversized ridiculous dock in the place of a taskbar impedes productivity. the only people who run mac OS are college hipsters.

just get a torrent of daz's Windows 7 Loader, doesn't modify or damage any windows files and does a SLIC key/certificate spoof so windows thinks its always activated, you don't even have to be online to do this. it's such a fatal flaw of their old activation system that microsoft has also been entirely unable to patch it out in windows updates, it's a bulletproof "crack."

Shouldn't need to. Worst case, you just contact Microsoft via their internet chat thingy, and they can fix it. I've had to do that in the past.
You should only need to do this if you do a major change, like swapping the Motherboard out. Just reinstalling on a new SSD with the same motherboard shouldn't cause issues.

You'll grow up one day and realize the only reason Mac has far fewer viruses than windows is because nobody wants to hack some hipsters music playlist

XP Prof you motherfucker

XP was absolute garbage and you know it. Unstable as shit and had notoriously terrible security. Performance-wise, it was pretty snappy though.

thx

Will keep that in mind

It is fucking nolstalgic though, that super comfy interface is absolutely unforgettable. Just dicking around with it brings back years of memories.

Win7 is the last Windows I liked.
Then WinXP
Then Win98SE

Rest were pretty garbage.

>because windows

2000 was good, and you know that it was aesthetic as FUCK. I can't stand all this modern, boring-looking monotonous flat shit.

That tan to aqua fade was the height of interface design

My laptop had 10 oem on the hard drive, and then that hard drive died. Put in a new drive, installed 7, and instantly remembered how much I missed it. 10 does have some features I wish 7 had, but overall 7 is my preferred os

I miss it

Agreed, that control panel image is masturbation-worthy. It's an old GUI that has aged like fine wine.

how about three reasons:

no built in ssh client
SMB vulnerabilites
bash > powershell

I miss the GUI, it was fucking comfy and I have so many memories on XP. But XP was a buggy, insecure piece of shit.

>bash > powershell
who the hell uses a CLI on windows anyway?

only people that know enough to be justified in having an opinion about operating systems

...

>not using windows ME
Fucking plebs

the default terminal "command prompt" is garbage and in windows there is essentially no reason to ever use the CLI

which means that windows basically "requires" a gui. thank you for proving my point

Quick reminder: Windows 7 extended support ends in January 14, 2020.

Why don't you just torrent a cracked version or use KMPpico? Who gives a crap.

Windows is literally built around providing an extremely feature-full GUI that is easy enough to use but also extremely powerful for general consumers. I don't understand your point.

If you really give a shit, there are better terminals for windows and you can also install bash if you really want to use it. There's a package manager called chocolate or something as well.

Mac os is not used to run a business its used for one person work flow. And if you dont change the dock to a tiny static dock you are retarted. I have used both windows and mac to do my work from home and mac is vastly superior.

KMS software is to be used on Windows 8 because you can't do SLIC/cert spoofing. KMS is shit in comparison. If you're on Windows 7, use daz's loader, it's so much better. The exploit was fixed in Windows 8 though.

Also, KMS pico is shit KMS software. Use KMS tools if you have Windows 8.

I'm well aware. I'm saying the fact that it's an addon to the os makes the os weaker as a whole. windows is only for vidya faggots and their gay porn

>Who gives a crap.

0/10

I'm actually really upset and sad that my next computer will have win 10 since 7 doesn't support the new CPUs,
Every time I had to or tried to use win 10 it ran like liquid shit, so slow and ugly.

Just run your favorite linux distro if you can't run 7 or 8. If you get 8 to run, install Classic Shell.

I need windows for games, and fuck no, 8 is even worse than 10, from the info i gathered while 8 is absolute trash, 10 is trash only like the 30% of the time, I've only been unlucky, literally every time I used it it told me 100% of the disk was constantly in use, while most of my friends says it's fine for them and they never had that issue, which was my main problem multiple times. Another thing that I really hate about 10 is the design, aside from some windows that look more or less the same, there are some interfaces that look like a website without CSS, and I also noticed that they moved some buttons and functionalities in different menus that makes them a little harder to find, only to make everything look "modern", for me it looks like they were trying to do like Google did with Material, but google did it right while they did many many things wrong.

8.1 with classic shell is worth not having the required update insanity, constantly rebooting your PC and the spyware.

It's not Windows 2000.

>2018
>not saying xp

gtfo

Windows 10 ltsb is the only way to go

I'm tired of people that say that 10 is better only because it has directx 12, or just because they say it. stupid idiots saying it's simpler so it's better, when it actually isn't and only looks really bad

Yeah same here. But I'm sure some Linux genius will have something to say.

>Now what?

The only thing ME is the best at is being terrible.

zing!
