No, TechRadar, it’s not about being “hooked” on Windows 7, it’s about realising what a fucking train wreck Windows 10 is.
Essentially the resulting ‘hacks’ are technically Microsoft’s fault. If they were half as competent as they used to be, hadn’t drained away the care and resources from what was once upon a time pretty much their only focus, having lost interest in it in favour of cloud and data services, then no one would feel any need to cling on to the last version of Windows.
