Can we get some love for this underrated, gorgeous OS?
>>
>>53744044
Windows 10 is faster, free, great, more secure, and much better looking. This is now a Windows 10 appreciation thread.
>>
>>53744080
I agree with you. I don't understand these hipsters at all. Why would anyone want to use ancient unpatched trash like Windows Vista or Windows 7 when Windows 10 is out and FREE.
>>
>>53744080
The differences between Vista and 10 are 10 years apart.
>>
>>53744097
Because they are paranoid idiots who think windows 10 "spies" on them. Even though Windows 10 is actually the most secure operating system that exists today, while Vista and 7 are insecure and buggy under the hood.

Are you retarded?

Windows 10 isn't "free". It's a free UPGRADE from 7 or 8.1.

I can't just walk into a store and ask for my free copy of Windows 10. It still costs (an outrageous) $129

>tfw there will never be a release of Windows like Vista again

compare:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_Vista

vs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_10

Every version of Windows afterwards has been a reskin of Vista with some small tweaks or changes.

I think you're too young to remember how much of a cluster fuck the Vista launch was
>>
>>53744296
It was only a cluster fuck because OEM's goofed it and slapped it on old 2005 XP laptops with 512mb of RAM. The OS its self was fine at launch.
>>
Vista was good when they fixed it and renamed it 7.

Exactly.

Vista, in a sense, set "the standard" for future Windows. Everything you see in Windows 7, 8, and 10 is based on Vista.

Hell, there are basic Microsoft drivers in Windows 10 that date back to 2006, when Vista was RTM'd.

Everything, from the Control Panel layout, to the Device Manager driver updating, to Sound settings, is based on Vista.

This is indeed true.

In Sept. 2007 I bought an Acer Aspire with a Pentium D, 1GB of RAM, and a 5400RPM drive. OS was Vista Home Premium 32bit. Of course performance was shit in that laptop, but I managed just fine at the time. Pic related.

holy shit i have the 5050 variant around here somewhere. Shit was so cash until the 1GB of RAM ran out really fast with vista.

I really liked vista. I actually remember when I first booted vista and was genuinely amazed by aero, I must've spent around 10min moving a window around, just to see it fading away and coming back in.

Aero was rad as shit at launch.
>>
>>53744585

It would have been ten times better if the taskbar, start menu and maximized windows had supported transparency. As it was, all that black didn't really mesh with the crystalline light green and yellow color scheme.

Is there anything more obnoxious than Windows 10 shills?

They're so fucking blatant, it's incredible.
>>
>>53744044
I was using it in a notebook and was slow af. So I change to 8.1 and was all good.
>>
Vista was great, but 7 refined it to perfection
>>
Never used Vista. Held on to XP until 7 was released. Then again, I remember how reluctant I was to switch from ME (what a joke) to XP.
>>
>>53744123
I think you are thinking about OpenBSD
>>
>>53744312

had no issues with vista.

seriously apart from some outdated XP applications not working, it ran smooth as silk, i had 4GB ram at the time.
>>
To be honest when I built my PC back then I bought vista home basic, did t care about the glass effect or any of the extra crap the other versions had, it ran well and was very reliable on my core duo PC.
>>
>>53745624
I know I shill hard that win 10 spying is massively overblown and that most /g/ autists would blend in completely among the fucking sea of data they have, and these guys look like retards to me.
