Straight up said I wouldn’t call 10 better than 7. So what’s your point? 10 is, overall, good OS. Not best, not great, good.
Agree to disagree. 10 is fast, reliable and convienient. I agree it served as a sandbox for all the shit they crammed into 12, but it doesn’t change anything.
Still would prefer 7. Kinda loved 7.
And thats where we can come together. 7 was the best, the peak of microsofts excellence.
I’d probably still be running it today if I could, but it died, and my choice was Windows 11 or Linux… so I went linux, and never looked back.
