no i really cant youre right

im not proving you wrong, I loved windows 7 when I was a kid, but now I use windows 10 and im satisfies as well

Windows 3.1 was the last one that actually was reliable

Everything about 7 just worked. There wasnt any program that malfunctioned, no system issues or naggy updates. Never slow with multitaaking. Pirated software worked like a charm. The ideal operating system agreed

oldfag here

7 was and 10 is a good OS but XP was better in terms of efficiency, compatibility, and reliablity

10 might get there one day

I am OK with windows 10. I like windows 7, it was pretty solid. I hated windows XP until service pack 1. It the most unstable thing I have ever seen. But loved it after the service pack. I also think there is a special place in hell for whoever developed Windows NT.

windows 7 was good for its time honestly better than 8 and 8.1 but win 10 is this shit now currently

XP was great too, agreed!

>special place in hell for whoever developed Windows NT

unless you mistakenly meant Win ME, you are troll

wow look at that uggo color scheme i feel sorry for you

No mistake. Mistake Edition did suck a lot. I will tip my hat to NT as being the parent to most of the current Windows infrastructure. My main experience (which isn't a lot) was going on psychotic driver hunts.

Currently buying the Windows 7 restore disc on Amazon to keep as a backup if my laptop finally dies. It on its last leg. $13.99 buy that shit up yall before its gone!

Mistake Edition lol

Would actually use 10 if they made a "no bullshit" edition to make it more like 7. Take out cortana, the data mining shit, just make it a faster more up to date 7.

Why do they need to data mine if they are already charging you 100+ for the OS

>Why do they need to data mine

data is very valuable
google mines it
apple mines it
facebook mines it

if microsoft has any chance in hell to stay relevant, they need to know their customers as intimately as possible

Linux is pretty good

XP was the best. W10 is horrific. Leave it to MS to fuck shit up.

Debian derived OS's are the best in the world.

Wow. Almost exactly at the 20 minute mark.
I didn't think it would take that long.

>was
still is, still use it

Fair enough. I would be willing to pay extra for a windows edition that wouldnt do that though.

As much as they are trying, windows 7 is still much easier to keep them out of for the mining, and until that is no longer the case, im sticking with it. Still running a Core 2 Anyways.

>My face when Bill Gates literally sold fags rebadged windows vista and they spend all day jerking it off.
The only reason people hate on vista because their shit rigs couldn't run the glorious Aero theme so they basically did the whole "I didn't even want it anyways" thing children do. Sorry your bitch ass 7800gt couldn't run Crysis or Windows Vista, yet you keep pouring salt into the wound.

stay mad vistafag
the only way to do it:
Windows XP -> Windows 7
the end

Im gonna have to agree with you on that one, I've done plenty of testing with vista, and other than a windows update issue, I haven't really had any issues with it.

aero is shit classic theme only

yes because Windows XP isn't also overrated trash compared to the also Glorious Windows 2000, another wrongfully disrespected windows because their windows 98 rig couldn't handle it.

vista>7

I'm gonna have to disagree with you. 1 week after i bought a computer with Vista, i was watching a porn & clicked a link that led to a 15 second video. I watched it and soon as it ended my computer was never the same. The OS didnt have a built in defense to threats on the web, 7 does. I dont think i ever installed antivirus on 7 cuz it doesnt need it. Vista was vulnerable to viruses :P

Can we at least all agree that windows 8 was terrible?

no your dumb ass was vulnerable to viruses, also back in the day viruses were a lot like cigarettes, "safer"

Look people hated on it because it was a total downgrade from 7, but they were just stalling in the eyes of progress

Ive clicked my fair share of dirty-ass links using 7 and my shit still runs. When i did it with Vista- it bit the dust.....pussy OS

Linux is better.

10 would be better than 7 IMO if it weren't for all the bloatware that now comes installed as part of the OS (Cortana, Microsoft Store apps, etc).

There's a million different settings you have to turn off the second you buy a new Win 10 machine just so you don't constantly rage at it.

Uhhhhh to be honest 8 wasnt as bad as people make it out to be. It was just weird with a lot of hidden functions. Hey microsoft, I'm just trying to do my homework not play 4 dimsenional chess!

when you were a kid?! wtf?! it was released in 2009! you still are a kid! gtfo

We're getting old.

That and OEMs put it on low end machines and hardware vendors made shitty drivers for it.

>The OS didnt have a built in defense to threats on the web, 7 does.
Yeah it did and it's called UAC.

This is so true it hurts.

Tried to turn off a bunch of Telemetry and tracking settings when setting up Grandmother's computer for her.

Then I ran updates.

Then MS re-enabled all the data mining stuff I disabled.

Fuck that shit.

Not on single comment on this or a compliment on my rig fuck everyone you inappreciative dicks.

Can't agree more. Vista was actually faster on computers that hard newer hardware because of 64bit drivers and better CPU instructions support. 32 bits Vista and 64bits XP were shit. Also disabling UAC made everything a lot faster, in my opinion Vista was a very mature OS by the time it went mainstream and it was just that people expected to keep using 5+years old hardware with new technologies. But people are idiots.

>MacBook
No matter the specs attached to those monitors you are a peasant

10 is getting better and has great possibilities but 7 was the end of the freestanding pc that the user had control of. Now it's pretty much another web appliance.

Glanced over it, sorry.

The Binary Rain looks really cool. I should really get that as a screensaver for one of my servers

Well it musta been shit cuz my system fan was grindy as fuck after

>hp not mac
store.hp.com/SwitzerlandStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=2TL70EA&opt=UUZ&sel=NTB&lang=en-CH

In all reality, I use 7 to game on but im a Applefag/Macfag/irlfag so... my opinion probably doesnt matter much here

wrong, it was XP

with acronis, you could put it on ANY workstation.

And incase you don't know what acronis is. it's imaging software. So install XP on workstation A. and you could take that image and put in on workstation B. With TOTALLY different hardware.

and it would work, 98% of the time.

try that with win7
it won't work 5% of the time.

LINUX

NSA mines it

not using fog, acronis sucks dick

here is a link you pleb
fogproject.org/

linux as a desktop sucks

i run mint at work as my spare for doing research,

and sorry. But when something simple takes 30 min
or longer

that's not a good OS.

acronis rocks.

Excuse me
>Glanced over it, sorry.

checked, I've been running ubuntu since 2005 It works better than most desktop environments you just have to put gnome desktop on it.

Set the network as "metered" No updates until you turn it back to off

I completely agree with this post. Windows 8.1 was very responsive and was faster than 7 when using newer hardware like 4th Gen Core i5 and i7.

My work pc environment I manage is over 700 computers and 200 servers. If i had to use acronis to mange all the images I'd be 400 years old by the time I was done. I moved on to bigger and better applications.

dude, unless you have a dedicated server. Fog sucks. Acronis is a usb key or a cd, and you can image a computer, pulling that image from a network.

NO ONE is going to fuck with a fog installation on linux unless they got alot of time to burn and a server just laying around with the X amount of images. Not to mention the PXE boot bullshit

Im old school IT. 48 here.
I do things the right way. ya kid, neato. but unless you got the criteria to run all that "new" shit.

Acronis gets the job done, simply and easily.

you do realize that was 9 years ago right? a 16 year old would be 25 now.

I did the updates myself, its not auto installing updates that is my problem, its the fact that microsoft re-enables stuff i have disabled so they can keep data mining

if you ask an old person 25 is a kid

do you talk like that in real life? because all I could think is that you're totally full of shit

Nice dubs, but shut the fuck up with your shit. 29 newfag here.

i have been running a version of linux as my "spare" for over 15 years. great to see if a particular file or email has a "windows" virus on it. ect.

But there is no way, linux is even remotely ready for the work environment.

I worked for a fortune 500 company that used linux for some engineers. but they STILL had to have windows laptops for the generic shit.
right there, i learned. Linux is niche.

Windows is all encompassing. If linux was the better OS. they would have gained major support by now and be the dominant operating system. it's been around for fucking 20 years Plus. How long until they put their big boy pants on?

ya ya, servers. even then. Niche.

Nothing hard about setting up a tftp server and if you have been working in it for 48 years you should know this. FOG doesn't even need a dedicated server you can use an extra desktop. I am using a dell r 910 though with 1TB ram and 4 octacore processes.

"kids" literally stop at around 10
Then there's a word for it, it's "teenager" you see the trick ? Teen-ager like 10-ager
But it's fine mr Oldperson

uhhh you can roll out multiple restores of ws and servers with acronis. just as easy as your software.

Obviously you don't know what your doing.

Enterprise LTSB nigga

i can prove what i say

Just making this clear I'm 100% in agreement with you about how awesome W7 is. But didn't everyone same the same thing about WXP after W7 came out.

Yea but FOG is free, saves money and goes in my pocket a bonus

Holy shit, this is spiraling out of control fast. We are talking about Windows 7 vs. 8.1 vs. 10 Fall Creators. Lets get down to business here.

i said i was 48.

And i will honestly give it a look and play with it.

But acronis will do what this does. Easily.
it's just not free.

most people don't consider someone to be a "teenager" until fourteen or fifteen though

1 tb of ram (your full of shit) and the processor same.

I just disabled everything, block everything with firewall & whitelisted required stuff, set the network as metered & never update. Nothing re-enables; even cortana gives up after a while

7>10 Enterprise LTSB>8.1

calm down there buddy, it's true I have 16 of them in my data center. I have some spares sitting right here beside me. dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/spc_r910_new.pdf

You might be retarded. Get it checked.

doens't matter. Acronis can some some pretty fucking amazing things

Acronis can do a live restore. Wanna know what that is? it means, as it's restoring users can work on their workstation.
Ya...so windows comes back up. great, they can log in, as they log in, oh look, the office icon is on the desktop again, click that, and they are in outlook, keep working and 5 min later and oh look. PDF is now installed. ect.
can your shit product do that?
No...didn't think so. But then again, you have to know what your doing.

TBH with you too I am in process of taking one of these and building a gaming rig out of it. Only issue is the wattage draw and noise.

win 7? - ya maybe for fapping at home
win10 = best in the workplace
linux = best for modding
ios = best for aids

Yes, it does they are called snapins also I push most of our software with GPO depending on their security groups.

XP most unstable thing...

Oh sweet summer child!
Let me tell you about the horrors of windows ME, that shit was nasty, full not crashes and half baked Internet Explorer, plus practically no security...
And don't let me start with windows 98( the original not second edition bullshit)

>dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/spc_r910_new.pdf
these are machines for virtualising or mass RDP sessions.
So instead of buying a workstation for everyone
you give them a dumb terminal.

heh have you ever spoken to anyone in their 50s other than your parents kid?

!# Linux fag here

??? Why in god's name would a barebones work environment be used as a mainstream consumer OS? It wouldn't, and generally isn't, because that's not what it was designed for or why it exists.

it really was, I cant argue that

I know what they are used for but they are servers after all i'm not running esxi on them I am running red hat on some cent os on others and one has steam via ubuntu desktop.

dude you can be the smartest dude ever but why do you have to be a dick instead of just explaining?

your right.
*tips hat

prob just mentioning it because people still love to worship xp for some reason

Really depends on what you're doing with the computer

For general use, modern gaming, and office work? You're right -- Windows 7 can't be beat. Windows 10 is better than Windows 8, but still utter trash. It's like I don't even own my computer anymore. Every day some new bullshit software is installed without my permission because they paid Microsoft to install it silently overnight. I woke up yesterday and found fucking Candy Crush installed on my PC. Who the fuck plays Candy Crush?

That said, there's still value in:

>Windows 2000 for older software support, since it ran on the NT kernel
>Linux for running servers since it has a better permission system, is open source, and doesn't do shit on its own without you specifically telling it to
>Mac OS for audio editing since Garage Band is actually pretty dope shit and it's only on Mac
>Android for phones

I just put a 1080ti on the one I am turning into a steam box, I can't wait to upload my rig on my account.

Don't kid yourself.
The older generation will always look down upon the young and view them as kids. 21-30 is not the range for kids, but is other wise young, and still stupid due to the fact that this is the prime of your life where you will learn a lot.

That why old fucks will always view them as kids.

I bet you are sooooooooo excited for your big 13
