What went so right with Windows 7?

>Released 2009
>256 core support, 192GB (4 x 48GB sticks) ram support, GPT support means SSD/HDD size is practically unlimited
>Ryzen 7 5800X3D / Ryzen 9 5950X work flawlessly on Windows 7
>AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series (2020) work flawlessly on Windows 7
>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series (2020) work flawlessly on Windows 7
>USB 3 and SATA III (SATA SSD) support via drivers
>Windows 7 does not have native support for NVMe SSDs. However, you can install NVMe drivers to add support
>Microsoft did add a compatibility layer that allows select DirectX 12 games to run in W7 SP1 64-bit, Halo and World of Warcraft uses DirectX 12 running on Windows 7
>Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11 all run on the very same Win6.x core
>Windows Aero was pretty kino

Support for ridiculous core counts has been a thing since the server editions of Windows 2000, same with fucktons of RAM
Windows XP has official support for up to a GTX980, so only a few generations short of what 7 got
Windows XP also has third party solutions for shit like bootable NVMe drives

Last version before southeast Asian brains took over the operation

wrong, retard
they have been exposed hard when Bulldozer came along and Win7 intensively used 4 "cores" while intensively parking the other 4. it needed a patch for proper 8 core support.

So why was support for screen apps withdrawn?

>192GB (4 x 48GB sticks) ram support
Not enough in 2025

Should have given Windows a real 8 core then instead of a fake one.

i'm still using integrated graphics and 16gb of ram in 2025

Then you don't do anything productive.

What kind of bloat are you running that needs more than 192GB of ram or a fucking NASA Super Computer?

It was the last OS created mainly by white people. The H1B apocalypse began after its release.

Retard. You can write code on a fucking windows 98 machine. XP would be quite fast enough. You don't know anything about productivity. Stick to gaming.

>>105967810
That's 11 years of GPU support

>>105965289 (OP)
It's the last Windows where they actually sold a product instead of making the customer into the product. So, essentially just an XP on steroids which was 95 on steroids. Also like many companies MS also jumped into the flat shit with Win8 that not a single person likes.

30 series too slow, rdna2 was fucking dogshit even in 2020/2021

It's funny to think as Western civilization collapses, we won't see barbarians burning and pillaging our lands, raping our women (most of us won't at least), but them taking over our infrastructure and corporations because we basically abandoned them, and seeing them run them to the ground.
