    No, no, I still hate 10 and refuse to use it. I keep 7 on one pc for musicbee, and that’s it. Fuck windows. Fuck it in the ass without consent, using a razor studded strap on. Fuck 10, fuck 11, and definitely fuck 12

      I hope you keep your win 7 isolated from the internet since it has been out of maintenence for quite a while now.

      You always have to consider that probably at least 80% of the Windows code base is the same across versions. So when a current release gets a patch for a new security flaw that’s a hint to the malware devs the old release is likely vulnerable too. As soon as a version gets out of maintenance its likelihood for infection rises steeply.

        Yeah, I use my main PC for internet access, then move files onto an external drive to transfer.

        Not that I’d ever use it for anything but pirating music files at this point anyway. It’s really not up to much tbh, the hardware is all old as hell, it’s just fairly audio focused.

        It’s interesting how much worse this works than the Linux model of just having a single continuously updating release and trying to never break compatibility. There’s stable releases with distros like Debian and branching major versions (sometimes), but updating to the next version rarely creates an actual nightmare like XP -> 7 or 7 -> 10 might.
