    I think a lot of these start is back programs were written for Windows 8 because it didn't have a start button as we were used to, clicking the start in win8 bought up a screen full of tiles.

    The pc I use came with win8 which was upgraded to win7 24 hours later
    the version of SIB I use is specifically written for WIN10

    Install Linux, customize the desktop manager to your hearts content and problem solved.

    Currently I like Mint with the default Cinnamon setup.

    There's always one... LOL

    I've got a mix of Linux and Windows systems. The operating system is a tool, and it comes down to the right tool for the right job.

    Mint and Ubuntu are a good starting point, especially since drivers are much easier to install than some of the other distributions.

    Vista and Windows 8 were pretty rough. Vista's real issue was the fact that it was an OS really made for 64-bit and modern hardware instead of the XP rated machines and components that were being released with it installed early on. The only reason for 7 having a better reputation is that the OEMs finally caught up with the kind of hardware needed. If you even look at the build number for 7, it's just Service Pack 3 for Vista.

    8 was just a step towards touch, but too far away from the traditional layout for most people. The overall OS was pretty solid, slap a true Start menu on it and it's just an iteration of Windows 10.

    Yep Vista sucked

    Xp still used by military MS has a special contract to provide patches.
