My big gripe with windows 10 is them putting half of settings in the Settings app but you still need to dig out the legacy control panel for stupid shit like audio device management that makes sense.

10 was ugly IMO and it turned the anti-consumer bullshit up to 11

I will say that 7 lacks the cool retro flavor that XP had, but maybe that's just because lots of Linux UI looks about as old as 7 (Cinnamon being the biggest "offender").
