I have used windows 7 since it launched and moved to 10 & 11. I like some design elements of windows 7, but I would absolutely not use it today.

If you think, "I should try this", Any reason why? I'm really curious to know

The 2d design of modern interfaces is terrible. Everything looks like a "Label". Scrollbars are terrible. Light gray on dark gray. And, worst of all, they need 3d acceleration to draw a bloody 2d label.

    Disagree it's worst of all. Why should a specialized piece of hardware not render labels? Even tosters have some GPU cores these days.
