You could turn tranperency on or off and it still ran like shit. I only remember Nvidia driver would crash for the first week when released and then they fixed it.

Na that was actually liked.being buggy, slow and having poor driver support at launch killed it. Windows 7 which was just polished Windows Vista was very popular.

Also they changed the permission model and introduced UAC, but it took developers forever to update and stop constantly writing to sensitive OS locations.

They still haven’t done that in 2025, Windows file locations are by far the worst part of it as an operation system for an average user?
Is it in C:/Users/<username>/? How about in the Documents folder? No, AppData/Local maybe? AppData/LocalLow or AppData/Roaming?
Maybe it created a root folder on my hard drive, Intel and NVIDIA love to do that? Did it just dump data in my registry (thanks Adobe)? Maybe it’s in the installation location in Program Files, or with the 32-bit updater app in Program Files (x86)?
Who the fuck even knows anymore at this point, just write directly into System32 for all I care

Vista sucked because manufacturers were behind on making computers up to snuff for the requirements.
Windows 11 is like the Windows vista of its time. But fucking worse.
