    That, and they confused “Window Manager” and OS. There were third-party apps to make Win8 look like Win7, don’t tell me they couldn’t have included the option in the OS.

      I wish Windows Media Center and TV tuners would have stuck around for a bit longer, I also wish IR blasters in phones would have stuck around longer

      Windows started life as a window manager that you installed on top of MS-DOS. It has since grown to be much more, and I don’t think you can criticise it for that.

      Also, changing the visual theme is their prerogative. They are not required to supply a “classic” theme, even though they did do that a bunch of times.

      I get Lemmy is the bird around here, but if you’re going to bad mouth Windows, at least do it for the many legitimate problems it has.
