Windows 7 Stinks
Delphi Code Monkey
– Since Microsoft won't let me decide when Windows 10 updates can be applied, I've decided to experiment working from Windows 7 for a while. So far here are the things which stink in Windows 7. Windows 7 is terrible, but it's better than Windows 10. 1. Fresh Windows 7/SP1 installs won't ...
