     @Kyonko802 I get it tbh.
     It's comfy, it works, and there's barely anything new good enough to warrant an upgrade.
     
     Also they have better compatibility with old VNs than 10

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @Meemoo I loved 7. It was when microsoft started to creep in with their bullshit, but it was also the peak of what windows could be. Everything old still worked without strange workarounds, could run all my games(which 8 could not) and had a nice balance of ease of use and technical knowhow.
     
     You have to alter the god damn registry in 11 to get the normal right click menu back :kekw:

     use a Win7 VM for VN's. :tamamo_think2:

     @Tamamo @Meemoo I'm able to get most old VNs and RPG maker games running just fine on linux, but there are a few I use VMs for.
     
     I haven't tested the PC-98 era VNs yet but I hear good things.

     @Kyonko802 i can see them try to push that stuff again
     
     Remember when 10 was supposed to be the forever OS?
     
     I guess TPM chips letting them spy on you without countermeasures was just too tempting to pass up

     @Tamamo @Kyonko802 I'd go for it if you don't need to use it for anything else.
     
     I never use my laptop so it's become the testing ground for different OS

     @Kyonko802 @Meemoo I've tried some really old ones after reading article about them but their a massive pain in the ass to get running properly.
     
     Doesn't help Win98 support kinda sucks on VM software.

     @Meemoo So annoying that it's at a hardware level now. I know they won't use it for the majority of people but it still aggravates me with its very presence. Want a badass computer? You're going to have a weird backdoor.
     
     Opsec more important than ever with no competitors. I feel like I ownm my computer again on the personal level sure, but unless I go and literally live in the woods I can't escape it. And even then they try and hunt you for not paying taxes.

     @Tamamo @Meemoo A lot of them boil down to "just emulate".
     
     All the ones I grew up with work just fine though. Hell Princess Waltz doesn't even need to be plugged into Steam it just runs on wine without any extra dependencies needed.

     @Meemoo @Kyonko802 Later versions of 11 actually did ran smoother than 10 on that laptop. Kinda liked the new startmenu but that's mainly because my laptop has a touchscreen.
     
     What bothered me is how they integrated the AI shit into the OS with the latest version and you can't uninstall it.

     @Kyonko802 and then people wonder why companies and govt still use win7 or older
     
     We will never see any OS upgrades in those sectors unless they start using linux (unlikely) or jewcrosoft is forced to make a windows that isn't laden with spyware (never happening)

     @Tamamo @Kyonko802 I have to constantly troubleshoot my dad's laptop on win11 so I hate it with a passion personally.
     
     Other day I had to deal with the wombo combo of shittiness that is win11 + HP's printer software and I wanted to kill myself. Shit doesn't want to work
