I've decided to create this thread to highlight just how beautiful Windows 7's UI is and how far we have fallen from actually decent UI designs. I've tried many things that are supposed to emulate the look and feel Windows 7 had, but none of them have come close to the original.
Call me stubborn, but if my hardware actually supported the OS properly I would still use it as my daily driver to this very day, even though updates are not available for it anymore. Unfortunately, Windows 7 on my main computer isn't very stable and often blue-screens as a result of buggy drivers, so that really isn't an option.
