Aero was a waste of resources. Looking back on how everyone used skeuomorphism, I would say that was a mistake.

win 2k was the only good win. everything past that was adding garbage. this is why server is superior. it's new win without the extra garbage.

>>57824118
Way better than the shit they have now.

>>57824144
But W7 is so good that you can turn that shit off if you so please.

>>57824213
Windows 2000 was the pinnacle of OS development

>>57824144
Visually aero is the best thing to ever have braced and OS, and the "waste of resources" is a big joke.

>>57824128
only runs through a VM, but you're correct, it is the direct work of God.

>>57824213
you can make windows 7 functionally the same as windows 2000, due to the amount of user control and customization ability you have.

You do realize that Aero itself is the actual desktop composition and not the transparency, and it's still present (and enforced) in Win8 and 10, right?

You can always disable transparency and perserve composition in 7.

Can't even automatically recognize and install relevant drivers for WINUSB devices

>>57825096
>it is not automatically done for me by the botnet, waaaa!! i have to press enter key and move the mouse pointer by myself, waaaaaa!!!
You are what is bad with /g/ these days.

>>57825221
I'm actually annoyed by that flaw not as a user, but as a developer. I've recently designed a device with an USB port, and due to luddites who won't update to the newest version it's given me more work with preparing manual drivers rather than just letting windows handle it like it can.

If you are retarded, yes, like every single OS.

>slower than 8.1 and 10
And you are retarded.

>on its death bed any minute now
Not until 2020, when it'll get extended support due to its market share, just like XP.

>>can't mount images natively
Useless, you can extract them

>>57825663
>>can't scroll on inactive windows
Unless you want to scroll the active window, not whatever is in background

>>57825663
>>can't create virtual desktops
Useless

>>57825663
>>has outdated and hideous design
Because the flat and inconsistent design is any better

>>57825663
>>will lose support in ~3 years
No, will not

>>57825663
>>can't play DX12 games
Vulkan works just fine. DX12 is a meme, even Microsoft knows.

>>57825663

What?

>>57825663
>>shitty notification system
Tray notifications are better than the spam-tier crap that you have in 8 and 10.

Thus far you consider annoyances as improvements. Gg

Pajeets on high alert!

>>57825663
>can't mount images natively
Software is readily available to fix that.
>can't scroll on inactive windows
Why should I care?
>can't create virtual desktops
Again, what's the point?
>inferior Aero Snap compared to W10
I turn that shit off. I don't want my windows to maximise when I move them up half a pixel.
>has outdated and hideous design'
Au contraire, mon capitan, it is 8.1 and 10 that have a shitty """modern""" flat garbage design.
>will lose support in ~3 years
XP lost support ~3 years ago and it's still going strong in many areas.
>can't play DX12 games
You game you lose.
>is slower than Windows 8.1, 10 and literally every GNU/+Linux distro
Maybe to boot because it lacks UEFI support. But to use, much faster.
>no power user menu
A little manual labour to get everything working never hurt.
>shitty notification system
Better than rectangles popping from the side telling me to "tap" my LCD.

The overall feeling was kinda bloated. The default hdd power manager set up was garbage also especially with one of my notebook that gave digestive sounds when the head parked on ramp every time. Holy shit.

Quite the opposite.
