How about it stops automatically installing updates and rebooting my system without permission?
I need to switch to Linux but that would require me to back up and probably attempt to organize my files.
Unless you have a bunch of pirate software and weird programs, it’s mostly your My Documents, Downloads, Photos and Videos folders.

i want the not-ruining SSDs of later windows, with the window snapping of win 7 (that was in some linux versions 15 years before), and the font/color customization of 2k/xp, and the utility menus of the old ones when they were more sensible.
there’s a little bit of explorer UI that’s improved from 2000 to win 7 but all that ribbon shit needs to go.
