    Yeah nah mate i do not recall a single issue you’re citing here. And i was literally sysadmin for a uni rolling it out at the time.

    Sure, in some cases you had to do a little more driver work as they cut the “must natively contain drivers for fucking everything” mindset that caused XP to have such a massive footprint, but they were easy to install after the fact

      Yea u can be ignorant all you want but windows 7 was a buggy mess on launch and no amount of nostalgia is gonna change that. Yes windows 7 wound up polished, but just because you fanboy over it with the rest of the echo chamber in here doesn’t negate the fact that it was a steaming pile on launch that u couldn’t even upgrade to from vista without nearly bricking your computer. Maybe u rolled it out on all new computers or something but it was quite buggy for at least the first 2 years until updated dozens of times. I have never had to fresh install w10 or w11 or Linux over stupid bugs and crashes and BSODS, but i remember having to do fresh installs several times with w7 in the earlier days.

        Drop the condescending jackassery, it’s never a good look.

        Win10 was so horrifically buggy you literally had to do complete factory resets to resolve issues back in the day. Theres a reason why the uptake still hadn’t reqched peak until users were forced at gunpoint. They couldn’t even properly stabilise the bloody thing until 20H1

        Win 11? Is the biggest pile of shit masquerading as an OS the species has ever produced.
