You have 10 seconds to justify using Windows 7 in 2016.

I guess I can't

baby duck syndrome ftw
>>
If you don't use Windows 10, your opinion is worth nothing.
>>
it just werkz
>>
>>52235004
why is there a need to upgrade it? It's still getting security support for about four more years, after all.
>>
My computer works with Windows 7 and i don't see a reason to switch until there's a program I need 10 to use or I build a new pc in 2-3 years
>>
>>52235004
1. you cannot disable Aero/DWM in newer versions
2. 8.1 offers pretty much no improvement and 10 is shit
3. old hardware/software compatibility
>>
>>52235004
You have 7 seconds to justify using Windows 9 in what year is it?
>>
>>52235004
I'm smart enough not to listen to /g/

Because I have until 2020 before I need to downgrade to 8.1.
>>
>>52235004
Because i do what i want
>>
>>52235004
Because it is objectively the best OS

Because it works /thread.

Give me literally one OS to switch to?

>Windows 8
Kill yourself now

>Windows 10
Ugly & invasive. Will wait to see what 11 has in store.

>Any version of linux
If you can get all my programs to work in linux and find a driver for my sound card in less than one week, I'll give linux a chance. But this is literally impossible so I dont know why people on this thread keep suggesting linux.

>Mac
Too many reasons why Windows is superior to mac in every single way

I'm using it and going to discourage others from using linux during 2016 to help it fade into being discontinued.
>>

>>
>>52235767
You're right anon! Why couldn't they pick windows 7 as the final version and just release updates for that. Hopefully by the time W7 is a sucurity risk, I'll have some money to travel the world and not worry what kind of OS is installed on my pc
>>
I got a new laptop for christmas preloaded with windows 10 and its shit. i wanted to dual boot with kali and it blocks booting from a usb and its a pain in the dick hole to change the security policy. i downgraded to windows 7 and i have a dual boot with kali and everything is perfect. its still fast, its solid and its not glitchy and bitch like 10. kali is rad, and fucking windows 10 sucks jew ass. wtf is edge nobody give a fuck. i used it for 10 seconds before immediately getting chrome because im not a phaggot
>>
>>52235004
use it only 5% of the time for muh games, else i rock debian testing
>>
>>52235004
because DX12 is the only thing win7 won't support and 6 months after it still isn't even a thing.
>>
Because Windows 7 is solid, lightweight compared to 10 (Coming from a guy running a gen 3 core i5, 32gb of ram (16 of which is being used as a ram disk), and a Radeon HD 7770 GPU), and it's stable.

I'll upgrade when Win10 gives me that.
>>
Because it's a great fucking OS, that's why.
>>
>>52235004
It just werks.
>>
Is there any rigs that work better with 10? I got an old school sattelite toshi that bothers me to update on the taskbar.
>>
>>52235004
And with this I'm leaving 4chan for good. Way too often have I seen the same things posted over and over again. It gets tiresome, really. And I've been here for only about 3 months in total (not 24/7, but from October 2015 a few hours a week). Waste of time, cringeworthy and pitiful most of the time (not only /v/ /g/ or /r/). Have fun wasting your time, you'll eventually grow out of this environment as well.
>>
>>52236331

Some older rigs, but I wouldn't run 10 on a dual core unless you have an adequate GPU to back it up. I tried running 10 on my HP DC7800 USFF desktop.
>>
>>52236395
See you tomorrow
>>
>>52235004
because it still gets security updates and it's better than 8 and 10

linux is ok but i like to play games

i needed to reinstall winders and i only had a windows 7 install disk

You should probably ask in the friendly Linux thread and leave the winbabbies alone or else they will die of envy because you have the technical skills to install a superior system. Your problem can be fixed, get yourself over to the friendly Linux thread

i ran a modded version of vista up until the summer of 2013 when my median rigs power supply blew up. Probably the best best tower i ever had.

>>52235004
10 is literally spyware
8.1 is an inferior version of 7
8 was a mistake
7 is a light and functional, modern version of xp
Vista isn't really that bad if you disable some services.
XP is GOAT

Windows doesn't even come with motherfucking LAN drivers. I had to download them on my laptop and transfer over to Windows on a fucking USB drive.

I use 7 for gaymes and not as much botnet.

Linux for everything else.

Windows 8.1 is the best Windows.
