The one you customize for yourself.

>>55694013
Fuck yeah!

>>55694034
Why do people who make these kinds of posts always put up absolute trash? That color scheme is absolutely obnoxious and tasteless, and those windows look like shit.

And stop using pixel fonts on modern computers, it's not the fucking '80s anymore, it doesn't make you any less "oldfag" to ditch the retarded nostalgia trip and acknowledge that anti-aliasing exists.

>>55694158
Font rendering on Microsoft will forever be shit. It piles anti-aliasing on top of yet another layer of anti-aliasing.

>>55694278
Not a great excuse to decimate it even more with some silly leet hacker bullshit.

It's perfect, glossy but not overdone.

windows 10

>>55697640
Windows 10 is even worse.
It additionally forces touchscreen and handheld UI functions and design onto a fucking Desktop environment.
If Windows 7 is UI cancer, Windows 10 is cancer growing cancer upon cancer.

>application switcher provides a list of running programs and takes up almost no space. It can also be torn off and placed anywhere on screen and will always remain on top.
>remembers the size and position of windows (until your Desktop DF becomes so bloated that Finder starts to crash on boot)

>finder windows can be dragged to the edge of the screen and opened like browser tabs
>windowshade allows you to reduce a window to its titlebar for quick reference without hiding/minimizing the program


Sure Classic Finder was nothing to write home about, but it was better than contemporary versions of Explorer. Its a shame Copland died and we got a candy themed NeXT instead of a modernized Mac OS.

is the new desktop thread

>>55696927
Do you get updates for W10 ?

>>55693573
This was a terrible design choice though, if you moved the cursor just slightly of a panel, all of them would disappear.

This desu. For those of you who prefer XP's Luna theme, they have that too though I tend to prefer the classic look myself.

>>55698935
It just isn't the same without the terrible font rendering

Gonna have to look into this, looks comfy.

>>55698516
No win10 upgrade or telemetry.

>>55698956
You can completely disable font smoothing, then it's as bad

Thought Vista looked brilliant, probably the best looking OS ever. Shame the hardware needed to run it properly wasn't affordable to the masses.

>>55699223
With my Q9550, 4gigs of ram and hd 4870 i remember it running like dogshit. Was there even hardware available to run it proper?
