>people liked 7 because vista was absolute garbage

Aero was a neat feature, but the best thing about 7 that XP didn't have is that you can actually revert a previously good registry state.

Can not tell you the amount of times on XP I would BSoD by writing the wrong registry key.

@adrint @NonPlayableClown @hakui the irony is windows 2k introduced userspace drivers that wouldn't take out your entire os before macos did but vendors just plain didn't write them

fast forward to 2024 and the entire world suffers a trillion dollar productivity loss multi-day microsoft windows outage because crowdstrike endpoint runs entirely in the kernel because microsoft refused for decades to implement a layered security api.
