    Idk, it was horrendously insecure, would freeze a lot, and missing creature comforts like window tiling.

    If they kept refining Win7 it would’ve been great.

      It was significantly more secure than it’s DOS-based predecessor (Win ME) of the time. That’s what people don’t realize, they look at the past through a modern lens. You gotta look at it from the time it was released. There’s a reason mainstream consumer-focused Windows editions dropped DOS and moved to the NT kernel. XP was the first real consuner version of Windows based on XP.

      If they kept refining Win7 it would’ve been great.

      They did, it was called “Windows 8” and Nobody liked it.
