People don't like change and like to bitch and complain. The only real reasons to use Windows below Windows 10. You could argue for compatibility and visual but you can easily run anything via emulator/vm and you can customize every os quite easily to look like another.

You cant on windows 10 and 8.

You can on 8.0 (and imho it looks as good or better as some Windows 7 themes), but you mess up your install if you try on 10. I tried multiple methods, all of them resulted in a reinstall, and just gave up on theming.

ya...but you seem like the person who is preaching windows 7 like it's the second coming of jesus so it's not just that one persons use case that matters...for a short time I had both a windows 7 pc and a windows 10 pc in my household at the same time and tbh, aside from the update thing every one in a while it isn't that bad. it looks and works just fine in my opinion and honestly don't see where people are coming from with windows 10 supposedly being the devil essentially.

I respectfully disagree.

At my workplace it's a policy to keep the operating system you're using up-to-date, including the software (where it makes sense to keep it up to date).
The problem with this policy is that every update something breaks. We can't afford reinstalls every month (I'm not overexaggerating!), but it's coming really close. I can't do my work properly because the clipboard doesn't work, and I tried EVERYTHING to try get clipboard working again, but I'm at a loss.

Oh, and since the new update not only is my clipboard broken, but I get BSODs if I have the PC running for more than a few days.
And no, I can't interrupt the run. There are just some things which need to run for days, weeks, or even up to 4 months. You could say that the program should be ready for power outages (which it is), but if it crashes every few days for a whole night then those 4 months could become more time.

People wouldn't have problems with Windows 10 if it... well, didn't have as many and as fatal problems as previous versions combined.

And don't get me started on the crapware and bullshit in non-Enterprice versions... You must get the Enterprice version if you want to have a chance of a long-running operation not getting interrupted by a forced reboot, because it's important to install updates which break your clipboard and cause BSODs. The earliest version I tried is 1607, and they STILL didn't fix the E button crash in the calculator after four whole years...

It was relevant to the already offtopic, and your whole argument is invalid as businesses use ltsb version of windows that only gets updated rarely and has much more quality assurance, you could also take the 5 seconds to turn off autoupdates and as a business you should have regular backups/snapshots for your important equipment.

plus virtual machines would solve a lot of these problem you mention

Yes you can, you must not have looked into the ton of free and easy to use software or the built in customization options of windows

I have an hardware or a few that will not work in Windows 10 and will not work in Virtual Machine regardless if VM is running a compatible OS. Sometimes the hardware doesn't like being pass through to the VM. Also there is other reason for not running Windows 10 due to its limitation in the CPU department, however just recently brought to my attention, an edition of Windows 10 pro that is "Workstation" and now I can utilize all of my CPU and cores. So far it seems to be running good.

my uncles and their friends used to joke about this all the time back in the early 1990s and I was a kid but I understood what they meant....
