Progress and improvement are not the same thing. That's why they're spelled differently. The fact is the things will progress- look it up if necessary- if only to stay ahead of the asshole hackers. You and zim may love holding things together with twine and dried cat scat, it may even be an avocation, but it’s not a good idea for most people and entities. They’ll have vulnerabilities they don’t even know that they don’t even know. I see it. Micro would be doing a disservice to his successor if he leaves him a legacy of Win 7, unless he’s a tech professional who gets off on that. He’s welcome to do it, or to stick his tongue in a power socket, but it’s not a wise idea.

Re: “Progress doesn’t stop just because your personal status was altered in the “last few years.”Progress? Heh... I hope you aren't going liberal! Progress isn't something that should be declared by some unseen power. Individuals have to see it and declare it for themselves. It's subjective.

After what you've read here, do you suppose Zimbler, ribit, micro or I would call Windows 10 or 11 an improvement over what came before? 11 is newer but, clearly, more discussion is needed before we're going to agree that "newer" necessarily means "better." Or is this one of those "the science is settled" things?

Twenty years ago I could go into MS Paint and right a crooked photo by turning it 1°. Or 2°. Or 17°. Then, maybe ten years ago, a new version of Windows came out and that feature (along with a bunch of others) vanished, never to return. If Paint still has customizable rotation, please tell me how. Or should I just spend $100 every few years on new software that can do what the old stuff did for free and delight in being able to move folders back and forth by touching the screen? If so, "Le progrès, c'est nul."
