UI is more pleasing, Directx12 and thats it. Really. Oh, also you lose all privacy.

Why do all the shills use the exact same 49.9 kb png

I did this to my windows 7 machine and it works fine. It runs better than windows 7 ran, but that could just be my machine and you can just download some of the suggested shit to block the botnet trash.

It's the only one Microsoft has provided and approved forward use in shill activities.

Still better than every other OS

Some drivers won't work under w8. I'm using w7 on my thinkpad t400 because of the switchable graphics thing.

Smoother and more efficient than 7, though older games run like ass and spying. Just install Linux Mint instead

Linux Mint has many problems:

Linux Mint mixes Ubuntu and Debian packages
Due to the mix of Debian and Ubuntu packages, when an update is released that breaks Mint, the maintainers blacklist it until it works again, even if it is a security upgrade. (Note: they don't try to fix it, they just blacklist it)
Mint doesn't publish CVEs, and you can't check if you are vulnerable because you don't know where a certain package came from.
When one of their packages has the same name as a upstream package, they block the package and replace it with theirs. For example, the package mdm contains Utilities for single-host parallel shell scripting, however, in Linux Mint (and only Linux Mint), the mdm package is the Mint Display Manager(aka a clone of gdm).
Security updates are optional.
By default, using the Update Manager, you won't get updates for critical parts of the system(xorg, systemd, kernel), even security updates.
The use of old kernels means that newer hardware isn't supported

You will probably have a better time with Ubuntu(or any other distro) MATE or by installing Cinnamon on Ubuntu(we really need a Ubuntu Cinnamon Spin) than with Linux Mint.

In a msdn article from 2013
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn482072.aspx

"Scope of implications
All modern processors support NX. NX can be turned off in the BIOS. Based on available telemetry data, it appears that one percent of the systems that are running Windows® 7 have NX turned off because of a misconfiguration in the BIOS setting."

Telemetry was enabled in Windows 7 long before Windows 10.

Win7 still runs reasonably well on computers with older single core processors, while Win 8 and up need multi-core machines.
Win7 is also kind of faggoty when it comes to the menu, especially "My Documents" (for example) since Win7 differentiates between public and private documents.
Don't worry about privacy. You haven't had that for years.
