    I preferred 8.1 and Vista over 7. 8.1 worked. You could search stuff and it’d find it.

      Preferring vista over 7 is a take.

      Vista wasn’t bad at its end of life … but idk about Vista over 7

      I preferred 8 over 7 from day one, but I was used to that style of app screen from Linux already so it was an improvement for me instead of a wild workflow change

        To me, 7 felt like a reskin of Vista with features removed.

        The features people complained about in Vista where in 7. I think the departure from XP is what was rough, in part because of the jump in security and in ressource usage. But by the time 7 came out, people had sold the old familly room computer and got a newer machine that could handle the additional load.
