Windows Live Essentials

Microsoft's answer to why it didn't include major apps, like an E-Mail client, with its latest operating system release (Windows 7). Windows Live Essentials includes a bunch of things such as Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Movie Maker, Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live Messenger. Don't let the similarities fool you though. The Windows Live Essentials apps are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE compared to their predecessors (which were included built in to Windows Vista). This is the key reason I choose not to upgrade to Windows 7, because they will not include the awesome apps that are included with Vista.

Windows Mail (Windows Vista included app), for example, works similarly to Mac OS X's Mail app, which is amazing and the standard for all E-Mail clients, however Windows Live Mail (included with WLE and the only option for Windows 7 users) puts the entire view in a totally un standard, confusing format and doesn't even save contacts correctly if your using Windows 7, as 7 does not include an address book (or even a calendar for that matter). That's just ONE of the horrors that await Windows 7 owners looking into downloading Windows Live Essentials since Windows 7 does NOT include major features like previous OS's. If your on Vista or even XP, STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAP. The only thing it has of value to you is Windows Live Messenger, ignore the other crappy features, they are less useful then dial-up.

Windows Vista

The shitastic OS brought to you by Microsoft. It precedes Windows 7, but was after XP. It was forced down the throats of everyone who bought a new PC before Windows 7 became available.

Person 1: Hey I bought a new laptop!
Person 2: You should have bought one before Windows Vista became available.
Person 1: Why? :(
Person 2: Cause now you got the crappy Vista instead of XP!
Person 1: FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Windows 7

In retrospect, one of the greatest operating systems ever created. It was simple, it was modern, and it performed flawlessly (unlike Win 10 which is constantly riddled with bugs). It is ironic how Windows 10 adopted a more minimal user interface design, yet it is twice as more convoluted to use than Windows 7.

Using Windows 7 feels like freedom. Using Windows 10 feels like oppression.

Man I miss Windows 7. Although I like the design and function of Windows 10 (and 11), I really do miss the old Aero UI with the glass-paneled taskbar and such. I also miss those Win 7 themes that had those UI sound effects that change with it.

And overall everything in Win 7 just felt so much simpler and way less intrusive. It felt like it was your home.

(P.S. are their seriously no GIFs of Windows 7??)
