Windows 7
In retrospect, one of the greatest operating systems ever created. It was simple, it was modern, and it performed flawlessly (unlike Win 10 which is constantly riddled with bugs). It is ironic how Windows 10 adopted a more minimal user interface design, yet it is twice as more convoluted to use than Windows 7.

Using Windows 7 feels like freedom. Using Windows 10 feels like oppression.
Man I miss Windows 7. Although I like the design and function of Windows 10 (and 11), I really do miss the old Aero UI with the glass-paneled taskbar and such. I also miss those Win 7 themes that had those UI sound effects that change with it.

And overall everything in Win 7 just felt so much simpler and way less intrusive. It felt like it was your home.

(P.S. are their seriously no GIFs of Windows 7??)
