Most recently, trying to directly access user files through explorer. More disturbingly, while trying to uninstall “system” software. It seems like windows resembles unrooted android more and more with each version.
Yeah win7 is good, but god damn, I have windows 11 on my work laptop, FML. Are they just trying to turn it into the Mac os? Whyyyyyy, what have they done. I use to have to click multiple buttons just to do the normal right click properties. They fixed that, but I still can’t stand it. I remember back when they released one of them after 7, doing everything to disable all the crazy services. Havnt bothered messing with that again though.
That’s not how I meant it. User Stinkywinks said that all Windows since Windows XP are shitty, which I disagree with. XP is often treated as a superior and awesome OS, which may have been okay for its time, but can, imho, not compete with Win 7 or Win 10.
Missing the old times is one thing, but claiming the old times were better is another.
It’s like comparing cars of different eras. Yeah sure, the old Ford Maverick from the 70s was a cool car. But it was also a lot less efficient, a lot less comfortable and a lot less secure. It’s surely not better in these aspects than more modern cars.
So go ahead swaying in nostalgia, but stop glorifying Windows XP for being a better OS than modern successors.
I liked Win 7 and am still liking Win 10. That Win XP nostalgia isn’t up to date anymore.
speak for yourself. I love XP and I’m super into vaporwave which has a huge following for nostalgia of that era.
Have fun. As long as you don’t claim that XP is better than 7 or 10 you won’t hear me complaining.
I mean 10 is what I have now. It’s pretty mid. But I agree, 7 was pure garbage lol
I get permission denied notices with a fully permissioned admin account on win7. I never got that with xp. That’s unacceptable on a machine i own.
What are you doing to get those permission denies as admin?

Aye. I think I’m going to avoid Win 11 as long as possible. Let’s see what they make of it.
Do you know what nostalgia means?
Yes.
I assume you think it comes with a time limit? :/
