Same thought. I even think it's UI is better than Windows 7. Too bad it was too heavy for hardware back then
SP2 is basically just as stable as 7
I agree that it was released too early though, in 2007 core 2 was very new and most people still used <P4
By contrast in 2009 the core 2 based pentium dual was already affordable.
I had a P4 based pentium D and even windows XP wasn't that zippy, let alone vista.
Vista was just 2007’s windows 11
Except, vista actually introduced some things that changed windows forever, 11 is just 10 but reskinned.
Just needed a good dust down and some fresh air and it ran like ass.
yeah, the windows 7 aethetic was the main reason why i refused to change to windows 10 until 2019
The glassy aesthetic was such a vibe... Shame that we get forced to 10 because of hardware and softwares
and now we're gonna get forced out of 10 in just over a year @.@
and while 11 is a bit better than 10 aesthetically it's got a lot of other choices I'm not too keen on
and 12 is looking to have a heavy AI focus
all in all microsoft hates us
I hate this minimalist focus nowadays, it makes everything so bland, with little to no customization
thats something i liked about windows 11, the design is cool and i like how it brought back some of the windows 7 aesthetics.
however it is way too minimal in features and that minimalism just makes thing stupidly complicated like the context menu having nested menus is ridiculous.
even with the focus of being minimal they got rid of cool fredom features like having your task bar any where and replaced it with bloat like ads and crapy software and more legacy support instead of just making the new software good. like windows 10 has bloat but no where near as much as 11.
thank god windows media player hasn't changed since vista
Well, it changed to that light blue theme in Windows 7.
Give it time. Next version it will be all black theme with white text in the most basic font you can imagine.
oop
Next version they will take away even the orange
windows 11 already has a new (and horrible) media player, but the one from windows 7 is still included as "windows media player legacy"
They also removed the glass background under the player buttons in Windows 7, but they left it in the Photo Viewer for some reason
All hail Windows Media Player
The accuracy of this meme is uncanny, it's like looking in a mirror!
I’m currently trying to transform my computer into this 🥹🫧🌱
Windows 7>>>
Totally agree
Absolutely!
Yeah true like i made windows 10 look like windows vista or 7
I like how windows 7 looked better ngl
Lol the silhuette looks like he's in pain
It wasn't very good performance-wise however
That's because computers at the time weren't powerful enough to run Vista. If Vista came out in 2009, then I bet it would be just as loved as windows xp and 7.
Not a good excuse for it really
I miss the days when icons were designed with love
All hail Windows Vista
Here here.
Fair
Me as fuck (I LOVE WINDOWS VISTA RAAAAHHHHH)
I don’t care what people say I love windows vista. I love it so much in fact that I downgraded my pavilion dv6 laptop from 2010 running windows 10 to windows vista and it’s so much quicker, the difference is actually unreal. So yeah now I use that laptop for old pc games. I’m very happy I downgraded to vista because otherwise that laptop would be E-waste.
i hate vista so much i had it on an old laptop and it was so ass
Same. Worst OS I ever had. XP on the other hand, bring it back dammit!
Vista was a god-awful OS. It had nice aesthetics but it was pretty much universally hated back during its time, only really considered better than the true abomination windows OS like ME.
Many people refused to upgrade from XP, even though there were legitimate reasons to, and very few missed it when people moved onto 7.
Make your windows look like Vista but don't get rose tinted glasses about that mistake.
If you had the hardware to run it, it was gorgeous. Even on my cheap laptop of the day, it ran perfectly.
Opposite experience here, but I also don't really get your comment
"If you had good hardware it was good"
"My cheap craptop ran it perfectly"
It worked great for me for the 17 years, yes im still using it on a 2nd laptop. literally my favorite Windows next to XP, I really liked 7 but it already felt kinda bloated
yes.
Halo 2 Games for Windows Live : Vista Edition
This sub is making me want to dig out my Elite book 8460p (XP, Vista, 7 and Linux all installed).
I also wanna sacrifice a laptop for the greater good of trying these transformation packs on a Win11...
Maybe some day.
windows vista is the best
I'm ngl I despised Vista, but I liked the design. WindowsXP guy for life
can't run solitare but it so pretty :)))
