A lot of the online discourse around Windows 7 having "soul" I think are just low-effort reactionaries nostalgia-gooning to what they feel are the "good old days".

@adrint it is the best version of windows, but not because it's exciting or interesting but because it's nearly transparent, it just works without forcing you to think about it.

@adrint windows 11 is the total opposite. it is slow so you notice it, and constantly pesters you to install stuff or remind you it's pride week or reinstalls "features" you uninstalled, again, after every update.

@sun It is 100% preferable to the absolute state of modern Windows, that much is undeniable. Though I still think the macOS releases of it's time did the desktop compositing and convenient feature sets in a more sensible way.
