In my opinion they went seriously off course after XP and although I hear 7 is usable, that was only after a truly intense backlash pushed them in the opposite direction from the mistakes they made on Vista. But aside from the concession, MS basically stopped trying to make the software people want and switched to telling us what we should want instead.
I suppose I should make an update. Since I posted the above, I got a new computer, which runs Windows 7 (I actually had to pay a little extra to get that instead of 8) and it is indeed usable, but aside from obviously supporting newer software, I can't think of many advantages it has over XP. In many ways it feels like a slight downgrade.
Do you like Windows?

I didn't like Windows 8.x and 10 for the reason that it makes it look like a tablet more than a desktop.
Preferably the last Windows OS I would use 7.

Wow, you replied to a really old topic.

Oops - sorry. I was just browsing around for interesting topics to reply to and answer stuff, but didn't realize I was necroposting.
To be honest, I personally think Windows 7 is the last best OS in terms of what I define as a desktop. I don't really care much for Windows 8.x or 10.
I liked XP too (some of the games I had supported at least XP), but Microsoft had to ax it because it was too old.
