    I think Windows XP is better than windows 7. Its just that windows 7 is more fancier with things I dont need. Well you can argue that windows XP had more malware and virus attacks than windows 7 since security has gotten a bit tidier.

    I might be even more bummed about this if Win10 wasn't shaping up to "look and be" pretty decent so far.

    Windows 7 was one the best operating systems ever.
     
    It's sad that Windows 8 had much too difficult a learning curve. Windows 10 is looking good and I'm testing it.

    It wasn't difficult to learn. I just didn't want a tablet/phone OS on my desktop.

    NO..  While it may have looked fancier as you sate  Windows 7  also  had  some advanced tech under the hood that made it faster and more stable then windows XP   the interface   runs off the GPU  and  much more going on under the hood better multi-core usage and such . on windows XP   it could crash the entire system if a  graphics driver failed   on windows  7  and  up  even  on Vista because the  GPU renders  every window itself   and  uses  a  GPU driven graphics API in inwodws    vista + if  somthing failed  in the graphics driver  the system keep going and the system itself would just reset the GPU drivers  right there without a restart or BSOD.
