A lot better than when it was when it released, but the garbage layer UI with less functionality was one thing that made it shittier imo.

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I agree, I loved the aero UI

This was the last version of Windows that I used though I liked the skinny Vista style toolbar better.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

While my first impressions of Windows 7 were basically just a "gimped Vista", I still really enjoyed using it, and look back at it very fondly.

Microsoft, I hate you now.

Have to agree.

8/8.1 still had a unique, warm vibe to them tbh

[–] bartvbl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I preferred it over 7 when using a start menu replacement. The changes to the control panel were generally quite good too.

TranslucentTB for Win10 works great, the functionality is in the name.

When did it first start feeling warm? With the saccharine Windows XP?

[–] amio@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

CRTs, all the radiation /j

I like the UI on Windows 11. It feels more modern and sleek than previous versions.

[–] xenspidey@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I love windows 11, windows 7 aero felt cheap and plasticey. I much prefer the minimalist look of 11

[–] verdare@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I think Windows 7 and 11 both look good. Windows 10 doesn’t look as good by comparison.

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While I don't love the inserted ads in 11, we use corporate at work which doesn't have them but I can still customise it with a pride vibe. Quite enjoying it this way.

[–] xenspidey@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

I've never noticed ads, I have a network wide ad blocker though so that's probably why.
