- dijit 3y agomaybe, but they were also warmly received at the time they were released too.
- RobotToaster 3y agoWhat feature does windows 10 have that 7 didn't, that you find useful? Personally the only thing I can think of is the slightly better calculator.
- speedgoose 3y agoWSL.
- RobotToaster 3y agoThe only useful feature of windows 10 is linux?
- speedgoose 3y agoIt’s not the only useful new feature but certainly the best one for most people on HN. Combining windows and Linux so well is great.
- junon 3y agoNot me. I miss XP because of its stability and consistent UI. I miss 7 for similar reasons. Vista was a flop and I don't miss it even though "Vista times" were very nice for me. 10 and 11 have been unmitigated disasters.
- capableweb 3y ago> I miss XP because of its stability Ah yes, the grand stability of plugging in the wrong USB accessory into the wrong USB port and the computer crashing. Great times :)
- junon 3y agoI don't remember this being the case. Keep in mind driver issues are not XP specific.
- remh 3y agoThe stability only came with Service packs though. Initial XP had terrible security. I remember installing an out of the box xp in early 2000 and without doing anything it was infected by malware within 15 minutes of being put online.
- MikusR 3y agoThe stability of connecting a fresh XP install to internet and immediately getting exploited.
