It was the last version of Windows with a decent UI that didn't piss me off every time I turned around with stupid notifications I don't care about (no matter how many times I try to turn them off) and other rubbish.
I use Win10 on some machines, but in general I find 7 more user friendly and much more pleasant to look at.
You're not very good at Windows if you don't know how to turn them off. What gives you constant notifications? Do you install every browser bar you can find?
Lol... that's funny, because I know significantly more about the internals of Windows than the vast majority of people, after several years running one of the largest AD implementations in the world (and no, I won't go into details about where). One might say I'm pretty good at Windows, even at getting it to do things most people don't realize it can do.
The problem is, you set up a new installation of Win 10, turn off all the notifications except calendar, and then use it for a few days... suddenly, a bunc
Seriously notifications? What are you doing? I've got 2 notifications in my bar, a standing one from Outlook which I can't be bothered turning off, and a Snip and sketch from 2 days ago. Wow I don't use that function very often.
Yeah quite the workflow breaker there... How annoying./sarcasm
