Windows 7, maybe I could even download iTunes 10 and get my old music library back

Grew up on windows 7. It was all I needed and was perfect. I don't need anything else. I didn't even want 10 but 10 is...ok I guess. I def don't want 11 though.

Duh, I'd rather be stuck with Vista.

But since it's not even an option, I would choose Windows 7 by default. Although 8.1 wasn't really THAT bad, I just think it will be treated exactly the same as 7 in terms of software support, similarly to how programs dropped support for Vista at the same time they did for XP.

Too many blue screens, my favorite was XP.

I would prefer a REAL girlfriend to a square headed girlfriend. Stuck. In the woods.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with a computer in the woods but I guess Windows 7 if I have to pick between those.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

7 because I don't want to be stuck in the woods with someone elses computer. Also 7 has the good version of paint.

The stability of the NT combined with that classic Windows look and feel. God I wish this did get released to consumers instead of Windows Me.

But my virtualisation software treats basically every Windows version before Vista really poorly, even with the necessary drivers installed. I guess I'll just get a real computer and install Windows 2000 on that instead.

I dunno, if I'd built a shelter, 1 or 2 windows would be enough I think.
