    Did 7 have some hidden clause or something that’s not apparent to a user without forensic tools? I remember that revision being pretty swell. (Especially the enterprise branches)

      The Home editions included hardware restrictions (a maximum of either 8 or 16 GB RAM depending on which of the two versions you got, and you couldn’t change language in any of the commercially available versions. While I can’t remember anything wrong with it, I was also like 10 when I used it and I highly suspect everyone’s memories of it are being biased by just how absolute dogshit 8 was on release.

          Right, that edition is listed after enterprise on Wikipedia so my eyes just completely bounced over the fact it could be upgraded to from Pro.

      Rose-tinted glasses. Anyone going back to Windows XP would likely be shocked at how broken and unintuitive it could be at times.

      7 was best. Everything after that has been unusable garbage.
