Are you kidding? I'd be ecstatic to go purchase a new boxed copy of Windows 11 Pro 2018, so long as it was basically Windows 7 shell with Windows 10 kernel and security updates, no UWP/Cortana/store/telemetry addons, and settings that stay set.
I'd even buy the Windows 12 Pro 2021 version when the time came for fundamental internals shifting like wider WSL access.
- discreditable 9y agoYou might but no one else would. Most people use the OS that came with their computer until it dies.
- Silhouette 9y agoYou might but no one else would. I would. An update to Windows 7 that worked well with modern hardware and had modern security updates but otherwise ignored almost everything Microsoft have done in more recent versions would be a significant improvement on anything currently available for those of us who value stability and security over bells and whistles.
- discreditable 9y agoI would and have. My last PC was built with Vista. I bought 7 when it came out and then 8. I'm far from the usual user though. My point was that regular people will not.
