I thought Windows 7 was pretty good.
Vista eliminated the Fisher Priceness of XP but added a whole bunch of glowing and reflective stuff, which Windows 7 toned down dramatically.
I don’t remember if Win 7 still allowed you to have the classic start menu, but I do believe I was ok with what it did have.
- fsckboy 3y agothere's a great add-on called... ClassicShell http://classicshell.net/ http://classicshell.net/ I stopped using windows after Using Win10 for a short time, but ClassicShell was always maintained and worked flawlessly... oh, dev stopped in 2017. oh well. the source was released and there is a fork that has recent changes https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu
- BlueTemplar 3y agoThere are more things than graphics : the ability to search the start menu was a huge improvement in Win7 (or was that Vista ?) It's Windows 8 that wrecked things, by making the two-way correspondence between the start menu and a folder of icons basically void.
- JohnFen 3y agoOf all the versions of the Windows UI, Win 7 was -- for me -- the best by far. Nothing else even comes close, and everything from Win 8 on has been substantially worse.
