    I prefer the security of Windows 95, when you could just hit cancel on the lockscreen password prompt.

    Windows 7 is still the most comfortable OS for mouse and keyboard desktops sadly.

    When I was a child, my dad bought windows 7 on release (it came on a physical DVD). My first job after uni was as a junior sysadmin/tech in a lab and I upgraded the whole lab to win 10.

        I mean, as painless as can be when upgrading 200 disparate machines that you have to ask users to please bring to your office and you promise you’ll not delete their data but actually the machines are so old on some of them it literally does delete data.

        So not that painless, that’s why that was basically my full time job for about 3 months.
