I think most of us will agree that Windows peaked at Win7. What force of nature makes corporations ditch something like that, and change the whole thing, instead of keeping it and just making it better? Is this a case of dumb executives, recessions, retirements, or what.

go on Sherlock, you'll figure out why a corporation
wants to sell new products.
I paid $99 for windows 7
I'm on linux now
I got it free because I was still in college and we had MSDNAA (what it was called at the time)
making worse products and giving it away for free isn't good for selling new products. they wanna sell data, not windows
>t.
moron. Go enjoy your Windows 11 that sacrifices 25% performance for no reason because the entire thing runs in a VM.
>he thinks we use windows
>baby duck
Then explain exactly why the changes in subsequent Windows versions have pushed quite a number of us into Linux as a daily driver instead of just forcing the newer versions of Windows to look and work like Windows 7?
That's an even bigger and more radical change than even the newer versions of Windows. The fact is, your stupid fricking argument doesn't hold any goddamned merit.

Devs wont stop improving UI just because you are obsessed with the one that deadshitos had.
>That's an even bigger and more radical change than even the newer versions of Windows
Installing a just werks distro is considerably easier than daily-driving deadshitos in 2024. Alternatively you can just update to 11 like a normal human and stop crying.
>The fact is, your stupid fricking argument doesn't hold any goddamned merit.
Currently linux is miles ahead deadshitos without the need to do 20 different workarounds just to boot it and fire up a web browser. Unless you use your computer as a glorified bootloader to some windows-only boomerware, there is no good reason to use windows 7 in current year.

No, we do not. Windows 11 is way more practical with new tilling, WSL, virtual desktops, dynamic refresh rate and obviously support for new hardware/software. Meanwhile you need hacked drivers to get something as basic as usb 3.0 or nvme ssd to work. Not to mention that very little software nowadays supports windows 7. VxKex (maintained by literally one person that can resign any time) is the only thing that will allow you to use a working web browser after firefox esr and its derivatives drop support later this year, so there is a big chance that soon you wont be able to even post hourly cope threads here.
Eh, all those things could have been added to Windows 7 without turning it into Windows 11.
Can we keep it to one of these homosexual old good new bad threads
Stupid fricking mutt check the catalog
Are you new here, anon? Hourly baby duck cope threads like this one have been a standard on IQfy since forever. Jannies refuse to do anything about it since most of them are either posted by jay or are allowed only to keep baby ducks alive, since most of them would ACK themself without fullfilling the need for constant approval of their shitty life decisions.

it was a bloated laggy piece of shit that was better than the joke that was vista, it was accepted only because it was not vista
there has been zero acceptable windows' since XP
One day Microsoft realized that they could make a lot more money selling data than selling Windows.
So Windows 10 was born. All the people still using Windows 7 were people Microsoft could not make any more money from, so they first tried to screw it with malicious updates, then they killed it by making anything made with Visual Studio, even when it's just a part of your software, need a dll that is incompatible with Windows 7. And it was over.
Windows was never good.
Literally this. Baby ducks still daily-drive deadshitos either because of muh soul UI or the fact they they are too poor to buy a new computer (and too tech-illiterate to bother with ltsc/linux).
>and too tech-illiterate to bother with ltsc
to be fair, most people don't know LTSC exists, even tech literate types. it's too easy to assume that if something like that does exist, you would already know about it.
>most people don't know LTSC exists
a lot of baby duckies that I have seen on IQfy know that LTSC exists actually , but they see it allmost the same way they see linux. They always say that it was "made for vending machines" or something like that but the truth is that they are just too lazy or too tech-illiterate to give it a try.
at the end of the day it's still proprietary malware so its hard for me to recommend LTSC.

Windows peaked at either XP SP2 or 3.1
Windows XP I can believe, but what was so good about 3.1 apart from the DOS games of the era?
Windows 7 gods will always reign supreme
Windows 7 looked like shit and you can't convince me otherwise
>Peaked at win7
>Keeping it and making it better.
>Making it better
>It peaked
>Let's make it better
Are you moronic?
read
Making it better through patches and bug fixes, not a re-invention
>Making it better is not reinventing it
Things don't "peak" unless there is no better version of it after said "peak" because then the latest version would be the "peak".
>What force of nature makes corporations ditch something like that, and change the whole thing, instead of keeping it and just making it better?
At some point you'd have to rebuild the OS from scratch anyway.
Without talking about looks, tell me why 7 is the peak.
Everything was there in place. There was definitely no need for windows 8. No need to redesign all the windows and widgets. Unless the code was so shit that it was going to blow up eventually
>Talks about looks
Classic wintoddler
Any performance improvement and refactoring could have been added to 7 in time without re-designing the whole interface
Anyway I don't really care
>I don't care
>Still talking about looks
lmao lol

Gnome devs
windows peaked with 98se
Nobody agrees windows peaked at Win7 except zoomer trannies.
Windows peaked at XP.
Everything after was dogshit.
XP was good because it could be customized a lot
they wanted windows on phones and
- win7 aero is too bloated for a phone interface
- they didn't want to maintain multiple different interfaces
so like everything else (WEBSITES MAYBE?), everyone gets an interface designed for phones and PC users get to b***h about how inferior it is
>Adobe tells you to port photoshop to iphone
The main problem was Windows 7 was built to well. Look at the specs; GPT support = unlimited drive sizes, Core support 256 + two sockets = Still not hit yet., RAM support; 192GB = Uh most home users are still rolling with 16GB so headroom left. So MS had to figure out a way to kill it. V.S past windows releases you had actual hardware limits built in. (4GB ram limit, 4GB file size limit, 120GB drive size limit,etc). There was no reason to kill windows 7. Aside from MS being just greedy. Hell they could've done an SP2 edition with new drivers baked in for new hardware and been done with it.
Mobile phones, Black folk, and third worlders.
literally the answer to every "why x bad now" question
should be a sticky
Wasn't windows 7 also one of the last OS's that had a QC department iron out the bugs? Newer os's moved to the public being the beta testers and had no QC at all. Just never ending rollouts of updates to fix shit that's broken (as its complained about).
Windows want to be "the" OS and started catering to mobile devices / touchscreens, as seen with Windows 8.
Windows 10 added telemetry as data is the new gold rush.
Windows 11 is full of pajeets that want to reinvent the wheel and add a tonne of other shit to try and "save power", but ultimately fricks with performance and latency.
wow, that looks like an operating system i can take seriously
why don't you run windows server 2008 R2 at least? 2012 R2 (8.1) has no downsides, only more performance and can run way more modern software
anon do you know how long ago 2012 was
the guy i replied to is using windows 7
there are no big changes since windows 8.1, software only very recently stopped officially supporting it and most run on it anyway
They want every OS to look like a point of sale homescreen. Outlook is more bloated than ever, it takes longer to sign out than sign in. Normalgays use alexa or siri over copilot.
try 98
Windows peaked at 2000, but 10 is fine too.
>I think most of us will agree that Windows peaked at Win7
Top of the dung pile isn't exactly something to be proud of.
>I think most of us will agree that Windows peaked at Win7
yes, anything made after 7 is such dogshit that i struggle to even call them "desktop" "operating systems"
>What force of nature makes corporations ditch something like that, and change the whole thing, instead of keeping it and just making it better?
money, as micro$haft realised that they no longer needed to make good products to rake in that cash. to an extent it's also the public's fault for being so indifferent to things like the spyware, account integration, bloat and ui regressions of 8+
>Is this a case of dumb executives, recessions, retirements, or what.
apparently the development of windows is a fricking mess. see picrel ig
