And I thank them for finally pushing me to fully adopt Linux as my main OS, although they did that months ago when I 'upgraded' to Windows 10 and my frustrations with Windows began (8.1 wasn't to bad really). This just seals the deal.
8.1 was peak windows.
Personally I feel like Windows has been progressively getting worse after it peaked at Windows 2000.
Unless of course you're willing to expend the effort to set up Windows Server as a desktop and put up with the limitations you get there.
7*
8 was all sorts of weird and clunky in the ui
I didn’t say 8, I said 8.1
Where I work we have brand new Media Servers for a 4 beamers video wall running on W7 - software vendor says it's the last "unobtrusive" windows that just does what it is told to do. Remote control is via whatever, but the servers are 7 and will stay so. VNC'ing into those is quite the time travel.
its getting dangerous to have these connected to the internet though
Yeah that’s a …. Interesting choice running a video wall with windows 7 in 2024
yeah i dont understand why these use cases arent on linux
I have one client still running a server 2003 connected to the internet, lol.
