How are they "not good"? You can still find XP machines in a lot of places, a 17 years old OS. And what's bad about Windows 7? My 2011 laptop is still running

How are they "not good"? You can still find XP machines in a lot of places, a 17 years old OS. And what's bad about Windows 7? My 2011 laptop is still running the original Windows 7 installation without any problems and I don't even remember the last time my Windows 7 desktop has crashed or caused me any trouble. Except when Windows Update decides to reboot by itself ... Mostly my only gripe is that Docker on Windows 7 is legacy.

XP was a very hot mess back in the day. It grew to be a passable OS, but if you were around IT when it was new you know what a nightmare it was. I still have nightmares about taking calls about the blaster worm. The problems people have with windows 10 aren't even close in scope to the ones we had with XP.

  That's true. IIRC XP wasn't really good until sometime after SP2 (which caused its own headaches).

You can still find Windows 3.11 in some places. Longevity is not necessarily linked to quality
