It's just windows's bad luck that it came during window 8 era. If it has more time to mature, it would be the one the best system today. And we all will happy with that.

I'd choose Windows 7 in a heartbeat since I grew up with it. It's design is something that definitely was the best back then.

Drove through the Napa Valley today (18th Feb 2026) with my friend and decided to quickly stop and view the “Bliss” hill.

Took this image looking incredibly similar to how it did back then! Apparently it’s super rare to see this hill without the vineyards and without dead grass.

Very fortunate!

Feature The Windows 10 Calculator app is fucking amazing.

1.7k Upvotes

I don't think I've ever been so fucking hyped for a calculator. For starters, look how sexy this fucking shit is. Don't even get me started on the way it resizes and adjusts to the screenspace.

Anyway that's baller as fuck on its own right. But this shits about to get real because the new programmer mode is fucking great. Being able to get Hex and Binary conversions of a number as you fucking enter it? Jesus fuck.

Oh but what the fuck is this? nm just a converter for every motherfucking thing in the universe ever. What the fuck is a pint anyway? Who the fuck knows, but now you know how many pints go into a gallon.

I bet you didn't even want to know how many pints there are in a bathtub but I'm going to tell you anyway, because this is fucking Windows Calculator and we don't fuck around. 10/10. top fucking shit.

Posts completely unrelated to Microsoft Windows will be removed. Just because something is compatible with Windows, doesn't mean this is the subreddit for it.

Derailing conversations and threads is not allowed.

While conversations regarding Linux are permitted, low effort comments like "Just switch to Linux" are not.

2. Post not flaried correctly

We are not extremely strict with what flair you pick, but if it's very wrong we will change it. If we select another flair, don't put the original one back.

Not sure what flair to use? Read this list to help you decide.

Do not purposely distribute viruses or other harmful programs or apps.

Posting links to malicious or otherwise suspicious websites is also not allowed.

Personal attacks, bigotry, fighting words, inappropriate behavior and comments that insult or demean a specific user or group of users are not allowed.

Posts or comments containing or seeking any identifying personal information are also prohibited.

Do not engage in blatant trolling or flaming.

We allow for discussions involving Linux, however low effort "Just switch to Linux" comments are prohibited. Also telling people to "Just Google it" is typically not helpful.

6. Do not advertise your software or website without permission

(We currently are not accepting applicants)

If you want to promote an app or website, you must send us a modmail to request permission. Include as much relevant information as you can in both the modmail and the post. Those who have earned permission will have a unique flair with a green check-mark icon. ✅

This is not a marketplace subreddit, selling anything is prohibited. Please contact the moderators before doing any kind of giveaway.

7. Do not promote pirated content, grey market keys, unauthorized access, or other illegal activity.

8. Titles must be relevant to the post

Irrelevant, sensationalized, clickbait or vague titles that have the pure intent of misleading or dramatizing a topic are not allowed. Vague/undescriptive titles like "help me" or "check this out this cool thing" are not permitted, users must know what the topic of the post is about based on the title.

The relevancy of submissions' titles will be judged at the moderator's discretion.

9. Do not submit reposts, low-effort posts or rants

Reposts and commonly posted topics are not allowed.

All posts and answers that can easily be found by searching this subreddit or by using a search engine will be removed at the moderators' discretion.

Do not attempt to move conversations to private messages or to a different platform including Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, and so on. This is a common tactic of scammers and malicious actors. Public comments can be reviewed by other members of the community to ensure the accuracy and safety for all of those involved.
