    Yeah nah mate i do not recall a single issue you’re citing here. And i was literally sysadmin for a uni rolling it out at the time.

    Sure, in some cases you had to do a little more driver work as they cut the “must natively contain drivers for fucking everything” mindset that caused XP to have such a massive footprint, but they were easy to install after the fact

      Yea u can be ignorant all you want but windows 7 was a buggy mess on launch and no amount of nostalgia is gonna change that. Yes windows 7 wound up polished, but just because you fanboy over it with the rest of the echo chamber in here doesn’t negate the fact that it was a steaming pile on launch that u couldn’t even upgrade to from vista without nearly bricking your computer. Maybe u rolled it out on all new computers or something but it was quite buggy for at least the first 2 years until updated dozens of times. I have never had to fresh install w10 or w11 or Linux over stupid bugs and crashes and BSODS, but i remember having to do fresh installs several times with w7 in the earlier days.
