This ISN'T Windows 7? - Classic 7
Рет қаралды 39,867
Ай бұрынMany people miss the UI and theme of Windows 7. However, Windows 7 is not recommended for use in 2024 as it's out of date and no longer receives security patches. In this video, we'll be taking a look at Classic 7, which is a version of Tiny10 that looks almost identical to Windows 7.

You saying 4th grade homework on a Windows 7 system is making me feel like actual dust right now. Thanks for that. Pretty sure my 4th grade computers still had windows 98 running on them, in fact I actually remember telling a friend about how my brand new computer had XP on it and was describing how high tech it looked in comparison...

The Family Computer (talk about an ancient term) I grew up on started as a 98 & ME machine until we eventually upgraded to XP around the time I started middle school iirc.

@@dunngunkadoid I still think vista and Windows 7 have the most timeless looking interface, especially compared to all the versions that came before it. The transparent, glassy premium look still really appeals to me, much more so than the blocky, minimalist kind of designs we've been getting since the 2010s... Except now things are getting slightly rounder again 😂

I remember when we got our first Vista machine, it felt like the goddamn future because things were transparent and the start menu button was round and peaked up above the taskbar lol. Maybe the glassy transparent look will come back when AR computers start being a thing 😂

Windows 7 in 2024 can still be safe to use by installing security software and Waterfox or a browser that supports it still. I bought an emachine with Windows 7 Home Premium for casual use and so far no issues just to give you a heads up. Nobody is stopping us from using it or running experimentation on it maybe in the future security software can start helping with patching up security vulnerabilities it's basically the same thing what Microsoft has been doing for the past decade is allowing security software to make patch updates so why can't security software do the same in the future of Windows instead of Microsoft doing it this time it will be the security provider you choose that will do it wouldn't that be genius?
