- Comment on Former Microsoft engineer explains why Windows 'sucks' now 1 week ago:
To me, 7 felt like a reskin of Vista with features removed.
The features people complained about in Vista where in 7. I think the departure from XP is what was rough, in part because of the jump in security and in ressource usage. But by the time 7 came out, people had sold the old familly room computer and got a newer machine that could handle the additional load.

I preferred 8.1 and Vista over 7. 8.1 worked. You could search stuff and it’d find it.

Wrong way around.
They’re immortals because they’ve left their cancer riddled bodies behind to become made of living metal.

The concept of a glass being full and of a liquid being wine can probably be separated fairly well. I assume that as models got more complex they started being able to do this more.
