This.
At this point: Why does even Windows 10 exist? Does anybody know any application, that couldn't run on Windows 7 if it wasn't the "we deliberately won't support new CPUs to force people to Win10" from Microsoft? What are the critical, structural problems in Win 7 that couldn't be patched and mandated Win 10?
Sorry for my bitterness, I just think Win 7 was peak usability. I never saw technical reasons for change afterwards, only forced political ones.
- gus_massa 4y agoWindows 10 is important because it reverts the changes in Windows 8 :) . In particular, you get again a nice program files menu at the left, instead of a slow change of a isolated all screen mode. (The tiles in the manu are a nice improvement from W7 to W10.)
- probably_wrong 4y ago> I just think Win 7 was peak usability. See, right now I agree with you, but then I remember that I said the same about XP and, before that, about Win98. When it comes to Windows releases, Microsoft has a solid streak of "a good one, a bad one". Therefore, my non-cynical interpretation is that there is room for improvement. With Android and iPhones eating the world, it would be reasonable for MS to try something new before becoming obsolete. Whether we'll see such an improvement before Windows 12, that's a different question.
