    If not for internet security concerns, I would daily Windows 7 until they stopped making x86 chips altogether. Microsoft finally got everything right. Briefly.

      i fucking loved windows 7 so much dude. no telemetry hoops to jump through, no always-online, no “this won’t take a minute ;)” snarky ass tongue-in-cheek loading screens. give us back functional progress bars and the Aero theme
