So they are going back to windows 7? Thats great news! For someone, probably. As for me I've moved to linux and I plan to stay a while. |

I wonder which of the 17 native Windows UI frameworks they will use. |

Wonder if they will add back the Win95 task manager, as apparently it still works nowadays and is much lighter. |

I recently had to use a windows 7 VM at work, and I had completely forgotten just how fast that OS was. I can boot that VM, do what I have to, and shut it down again in the time it takes a windows 11 VM to figure out that it exists. I moved my personal stuff off windows, and I really wish it were possible for my work laptop. |

You may be, but business isn't. And this is what business wants. Keep mind a business may have tens of thousands of machines and users. |

Are you running these on an Etch-a-Sketch? I have a Win11 VM setup on my Linux Mint laptop using QEMU/KVM and it goes from powered off to desktop in 24 seconds. I could probably make it faster if I cared to do any tuning but sub 30 seconds is more than fast enough for what I need. |

Sub 30 seconds is fine, but it's annoying when the windows 7 VM shows that sub 10 seconds used to be possible. |

And even if you managed to get those IT departments on-board with the concept of switching away from Windows, you still have the problem with software support, which depending on what you are doing,may have you chained to Windows with no way out. |
