The last great Windows before Microsoft began its enshittification.
It was the last Windows version that felt it was primarily made for desktop use.
Windows 8 tried to be a hybrid between mobile operating system, and Windows 10 and onward feels more like an advertising platform for Office 365 and Microsoft’s AI services.
Was 10 actually alright early on in its life, or was I just unaware? I don’t remember any of the advertising and spyware crap back when I first upgraded from 7.
AFAIK it has always been nagging about how much better things will be if you just connect your login to their Microsoft account.
maybe fun fact: they also had a anime girl for windows 7 in japan to promote its release
I love this as just a completely out-of-context picture.
That guy looks his parents were Tom Scott and Shayne Topp
Anyone else read PC magazines about Windows 95 on the school bus every day? In anticipation? Normal kid stuff… right?
Dude! 256 colors!
guy behind the counter looks so fed up with the horrid windows aura
