Everything since 7's been a downgrade. And really, if they'd just patched a very small set of 7 features into XP (mostly driver management improvements), I'd prefer that.
- rightbyte 4y agoYou'd probably want AMD64 support too? The XP UI was so much better. Technically I think I remember 7 as working better but I didn't like it as much.
- yamtaddle 4y agoThere was a 64 bit XP but it broke some games and a bunch of drivers were never re-compiled for it, IIRC, so it wasn't very popular.
- piperswe 4y agoI think an XP userland (hardened and with security updates) on the modern NT kernel would be a quite enjoyable experience
- Falkon1313 4y agoI wouldn't touch 8, but I rather like 10, and I'll stick with that until 12. Windows has a long tradition where whenever there's a good version, the next version sucks and vice-versa. Sort of the "tick-flop" model of software releases.
