Excuse me Windows 8.1 is beyond nostalgic and legendary at same time, 8.1 were made for tablets and PCs at same time so 8.1 is most lightest EVER while having Windows 7 aesthetic
@@WololoWololo2Actually Windows 8.1 was designed for tablets, however Microsoft ported it to PCs so people struggled to use it on their PCs, and also Windows 8.1 uses the same icons used since Vista
It is. There is a lighting shade as if a sun is casting rays through the window. And the files look very 3d-ish while it's apparent in 11 the logos look static af
This basically shows the evolution of modern GUI Design: Windows 7 has Skeuomorphism, Windows 10 has Minimalism, Windows 11 has a more flat kind of Neumorphism. Trust me though, in future versions of Windows, icons are probably gonna be 3D with frosted glass effects everywhere. I mean, they already kind of are anyway
Windows 7 looks like its trying to use its full power Windows 10 looks like its trying to hold back * prob why windows 7 glows a lot in thumbnail * Windows 11 looks like it succesfully beated the thing that battled windows 10 * its on the thumbnail btw *
Reading these comments, the Windows 7 icons are almost universally loved. It makes you wonder why designers prefer to copy each other to be trendy, as opposed to just creating great looking icons.
But now those icons are wasting way less screen on your pathetic monitor that displays pathetic resolution and DPI. With Windows 11 you can view more icons at once while you still can understand what’s going on
@@YouthMistake Ok, Good luck staying in Windows 7 with your 480p laptop 😂😂😂😂 For Windows 11 in most minimum you definitely need 4K resolution and more than 18 inch on an screen to have way less DPI in settings im saying this cuz Start Menu on Windows 11 doesn’t even fit into an 9 inch screen, I myself tried this on an 16 inch 1080p res LCD gaming laptop and Windows 11’s taskbar and start menu is HUGE, SO THICK and SO LONG
Here are my favorite icons listed from best to worst: - Windows 7 - Windows 10 - Windows 11 I like the Windows 7 icons the best because they have the most detail.
The Windows 11 icons are in my opinion just too different from Windows 10's, I think if Windows 11 just used the Win10 icons but less flat they would look way nicer.
I like the Windows 7 icons better than the 10 or 11. To me, Windows 7 was peak Windows. Peak in both looks and pleasant to use. I still have it on my desktop computer (now a dual boot machine). Windows 8, 8.1 on my laptop was ok (I had a windows phone. Laptop and phone communicated with each other/synced seamlessly}. The laptop got upgraded to Windows 10. Windows 10 is ok, but 7 was best for me. That same laptop cannot upgrade to Win 11 when Win 10 EOLs. So when that happens, the laptop will become part of the "Penguin Brigade" just as my desktop did.
1:47 thats not true microsoft edge in Windows 10 22H2 is same as Windows 11 1:58 thats also not true windows 10 and 11 have same calculators rn 2:08 idk what to say because THEY ARE SAME RN 2:27 same as i said before 4:18 as i said before
correction: the video is talking about the windows 10 rtm version and not 22H2, and at the time when windows 10 was released, edge had that icon since it didn't have chromium yet. and groove got replaced by media player recently, and the windows 10 microsoft store was replaced by the windows 11 microsoft store.
Microsoft Edge Chromium was started as of Default Browser on Windows 10 version 20H2-22H2. But, in Windows 10 version 1903-2004 you can Upgrade to Edge Chromium.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 is goat cuz it looks like the 8K HD and 3D version of Windows and also I really love Frutiger Aero style designs. It gives me good feelings Also Windows 11 is just made with only circles and thats kinda boring |:(
Based on my opinion on icons here are points: Windows 7: 13 Points Windows 10: 13 Points Windows 11: 7 Points Windows 7 And Windows 10 Win Windows 11 Lose
Vista and 7 UI was the best. In general anything after Win 7 is just dumb. Will be learning and using Linux on a 2nd machine in the next few years, hopefully will get to a point where it can be my daily driver.
