After windows 8, 10, and 11 all being fucking horrible and objective downgrades in user experience and general computing, Microsoft has reassured everyone that they are listening. We're so fucking back, windows bros.

So listen, and listen well, I'll write it out loud: JUST RELEASE THE FUCKING SOURCE CODE OF WINDOWS 7 AND LET SMART PEOPLE DO THE JOB!

>Engineers are now focusing on performance
LOL, you liars. The retarded indians at Microsoft can't write a line by themselves, all they know is asking Copilot, and the code it generates is just very bad and absolutely NOT optimized for performance.

>>108007833
>Literally all they need to do is add modern drivers to 7
This. So much this.
Except that what they need to do is not adding drivers but adding the missing functions, basically what VxKex tries to do. Then manufacturers will give us drivers for "Windows 7 2026 edition".

7 has always been shit no matter what you revisionist zoomniggers tell yourselves.

there was nothing remotely 'lite' about vista. it was a lardass operating system designed to compete with osx tiger. nobody could run it and nobody wanted to run it. and a big fat fuck you to anyone using their computer for work. nevermind how abysmal games for windows was.

When Windows ME turned out to be a turd and people opted to instead use Windows 2000 for home, MS didn't shid and fard and try to prop up ME, it instead used those resources to push NT-based architecture forward. The MS of 20 years ago would cut their losses and instead reassign resources to the successful OS.
>>
>>108008563
The MS of 20 years ago is a Ship of Theseus that has run aground in the indian ocean.
>>
>>108008563
my folks had ME and it ran with zero issues
I cant think of a single person that ran win2000/NT unless it was for work.
xp was the first NT based home os and it was a fucking cancer until sp2 came out.
>>
>>108007489
Good luck with that windows ten is being added to the offline lan and the only internet access I'm using will be via a machine with nothing on it and bookmarks for 20 or so mandatory sites and everything else nulls to localhost and gets no dns lookup.

win 10 is the best of the three you named but yeah it had the tumor in it that becane full bkown cancer in win11. Microsofts best bet is contining updates for ten and selling a 99$ OS without the cloud and spyware
>>
>>108007489

>>108008664
This but windows 7 since 10 is part of the jeet era of microsoft and sucks massive shit.
>>108008681
Nah, 10 was always bad, zoomer. You're latching onto the genuine organic following 7 has and trying to soullessly copy it for 10. You will now mention LTSC IOT because I know your script.

I'm not a zoomer and I never said ten was good just the best of the thee op listed.
>>108008610
are you the idiot that still does not realise that XP was windows 2000 professional service pack 5?
Windows 2000 pro was vastly better than 9x in every way possible.The only reason normies (you) did not run it is it was not marketed at you.
>>108008610
>my folks had ME and it ran with zero issues
It was a pile of shit. Microsoft staff were told to ignore it and focus on 2000 Professional and ignore bugs in Me.

>>108008398
Most people only ever ran XP 32 bit. 64 bit XP was not good. Vista was not good(it could have been but MS marketing fucked it). Windows 7 was the best 64 bit OS but it's even better incarnation was server 2008 R2.

They'd have to put edge on server 2008R2 add driver support and call it a day with a 99$ price sticker.
>>
>>108008781
>server 2008R2
The latest release of Windows Server 2008 R2 is Service Pack 1 with the August 2024 monthly update rollup, which has the version number 6.1.7601.27277. This update was released on August 13, 2024.

easy starting point

>>108008457
Microsoft makes most of their money off of cloud services, which itself makes much of its money off of hosting Linux. Windows is an aging dog they're not quite ready to put down yet.
>>
>>108008781
I bought a new PC with Vista on it and everything worked perfect. A few months later I upgraded one of my home built machines to Vista and it was a nightmare. Vista was great on newer hardware but a terrible field of land mines if you used older, down market hardware that worked fine with earlier versions of Windows.
>>
>>108008803
the problem is 'cloud services' are by design less secure, slower, less private and they offer no real gain to the consumer just facilitate monetisation by the vendor, same for software as a service.

Win11 is not bad by accident it is bad by design just as linux repositories are
>>
>>108008830
Alchin was not allowed finish it, part of balmers machiavellian elimination in his desperate quest to be new billg, something he was never capable of. The driver issues are all the old shit needing 64 bit driver support u c but vista was crippled by an internal power struggle with balmers shit ideas intruding more, balmer used apple shit at normie tier levels and never even used windows but marketing set release dates and called the shots, with alchin gone balmer had a clear road to ceo. I did not like balmer he was an extremely manipulative and wierd guy who thought he was in a cult
>>
>>108008781
>win7 64bit was good
no it was not
it holocausted 16bit app support and the compatability layer has been broken for 20 years and nobody cares anymore
win8.1 was 7 with most the SHIT ironed out

>>108007489
The worst part about Windows sucking is that you just know that they could easily make a good OS and they just don’t.

Surely it’s not that hard to just not package your OS with ads baked in. Like some other anon said, why not just modernize Windows 7?

Because that cannibalizes everything that microsoft's current business model is about.

They lost the original source code to windows 7 like nasa lost the technology to land on the moon.

Dead, retired, or knows their worth, which is greater than the h1b salaries. Plus to get anyone back, they'd have to add on a clusterfuck clean up bonus and if there are still jeets around, a hazard duty pay bonus and annoyance fee.
The only industries that understand how to hire competent developers and actually values them are fintech and adtech, the former being far more certain than the latter. Everyone else is playing endless MBA and middle management games of shifting numbers around to make their own bit of the company look good. So far it's been able to continue off of inertia and the base built by the previous generations. Both are running out.
>>
>>108009424
Microsoft, and almost every other tech company, has development centers in India. You have to also outlaw using non-American resources for development, which is extremely unlikely to happen.

11 get's waaay to much shit here by tourists.
If people actually bothered to use it properly they'd realize it's actually pretty good, due to the seamless integration with Copilot.
The synergy between OS and AI can allow you to achieve unprecedented levels of productivity if used correctly.
>>
>>108009201
>Why the fuck wouldn't they?
Because most people rely on windows and it contuinung to be unbearable garbage will just cause people to drop it en masse which would rape their profits.

Windows 11 stands out for its cleaner, more modern look that makes the whole system feel fresh and less cluttered. The rounded corners, updated icons, and centered Start menu give it a polished vibe that’s easier on the eyes and more enjoyable to use every day.

It also runs smoother, especially on newer hardware. Apps open faster, the system wakes up quickly, and overall performance feels more responsive, which makes everyday tasks feel less frustrating and more seamless.

Multitasking is a big win in Windows 11. Features like Snap Layouts and virtual desktops make it easy to organize windows and switch between work, school, or personal setups without everything getting mixed together.

On top of that, Windows 11 is great for gaming and security. Games can load faster and look better with newer tech, and stronger built-in security features help keep your data safe, making it a solid and reliable upgrade overall.

Were there any actual features introduced to windows past windows 2000? Ok xp had the interface makeover. Microjeets artificially gated directx10 to vista, but otherwise i don't see why we're not still using windows 2000. New windows apis from the windows sdk are all useless garbage btw.

Microjeets just wanted to sell the same product again and again, while we actually should've all just stayed on 2000. And retarded npcs keep giving money to the microslop. All the world problems would've been solved if normies actually took their money seriously.

They make their real money from Azure anyway, but again, corps will put up with any amount of abuse for Active Directory.

Azure is the real moneymaker at MS and everything else about them flows from that. And you can fuck the cloud up as much as you want when you're big enough because what you're really selling is responsibility shifting
