This Windows Vista has been working out great for me for the past five years.

Windows 7 came with my computer so I didn't have a choice. Luckily no problems and it wasn't too hard getting used to. It is great (sarcasm) when the "improvements" make the product worse. Like iTunes!

IDK why these techies have to change things that work just fine. This is why I am nursing my old Dell tower with XP and Office 2003 in it.

I have used newer versions like Windows 7 and there is no advantage of that over what I have in my computer - just the disadvantage of working around all the whistles and bells that I don't need or want.

There's nothing wrong with Windows 7 except that it doesn't like animations lol. Don't know why they came up with 8 though. Horrible. Not an improvement at all.

I like XP the best of all of them. It WAS an improvement over that Me fuckery.

Lord, it's awful. I just replaced my tower with one that has Windows 8 on it and I can't stand it. Not only is it not attractive, and the address bar being at the bottom awkward, but it has this built in firewall that won't allow me to download Google Chrome or install iTunes. It's driving me batty. IA that there was nothing wrong with 7. From the reviews I read, Windows 8 is pretty universally panned.
