Old custom themes are no longer viable since 1511, and recent updates have made maintaining them difficult. They thrived during the XP era and remained active through Windows 7, but after Windows 10 they faded significantly. Microshit introduced major changes in build 1511, shifting the landscape and making custom themes nearly obsolete. Today, only limited options exist, though some enthusiasts still enjoy creating wallpapers or using apps like Equalizer. For those wanting quality, the Wallpaper Engine is a solid choice. The aesthetic of the 90s is still considered outdated by many, though some appreciate its simplicity.

Actually i don't... I went from XP straight to 7 because i was still a kid back then and my pc couldn't really handle Vista, and i knew how to customize the sh*t out of XP so i refused to change. I mean i had a custom bootup screen, custom sounds, custom theme, custom icons, everything! Looked absolutely stupid but i really liked it. I still have a netbook with XP on it and most of the stuff on it, there's just something about it...

Microsoft consistently delivers a uniform experience across all platforms—whether you're using Dell, HP, Acer or any other device. Their screenshots and interface remain the same regardless of system or website you visit. They’ve grown tired of outdated icons lingering in the operating system, as many applications still rely on old 256-color images. If a program expects a specific icon format, it must have that version available; otherwise, it risks crashing. Updates are expected to address these issues.

The idea that dock stations should resemble desktop hardware feels misplaced, especially when the focus should be on a clean workspace. The desktop should remain tidy after your session, free from unnecessary elements like live tiles or icons. Only the recycling bin icon should be present. This approach aligns with modern expectations for a streamlined, professional environment.

The cursor updates in Windows Vista, 7 and 8 have improved clarity, making the interface more intuitive. Microsoft hasn’t planned to compete with professional software like Final Cut Pro or Photoshop; instead, they aim for straightforward tools that anyone can use without extensive training. While this may not meet every user’s ideal, it reflects a realistic path forward.

This likely involves a balance between performance and resource usage. More attempts to free up RAM usually lead to reduced speed. A similar setup exists for older Windows versions, using a smaller file size but possibly adding extra costs. For a random list of preferences, here are some options I’d consider: 1, turn off automatic Windows updates so they only happen when you request them. 2, avoid resetting my personal settings after major updates. 3, add another item to my wishlist: stop insisting Edge should be installed automatically.

A big share of the PC scene thrives on gaming. Other sectors have shifted toward tablets, which makes sense. It seems logical for Microsoft to enhance Windows 10 to better suit gamers, but many users purchased the PS4 simply because it eliminated the hassle of navigating complex menus before plugging in a controller. Still, is it necessary for professional use? I’m not advocating for heavy tools like Final Cut Pro. Instead, I’d suggest tweaking Windows Movie Maker with some adjustments and using something like Audacity. People should have a compelling reason to choose your OS beyond just cost comparisons. Microsoft has the freedom, but complacency is partly to blame for losing ground to Apple. I’m skeptical about this approach. Customization remains a key factor in why PCs are favored over Macs—users can tailor themes and desktop aesthetics extensively. It appears Microsoft has lost momentum after the 90s golden era and a few late-2000s efforts to rebuild its image. Only the most innovative ideas from Microsoft shine. Still, in reality, it’s possible to modify desktop icons, though it would require more effort than a typical OS should demand. It just doesn’t fit the standard. I also observed that many users feel burdened by the need to install numerous apps just to make Windows more accessible. Installing RocketDock is one solution, but it misses the broader point. People shouldn’t be forced to download 50 applications just for usability. Questions about compatibility—like GrooveMusic’s EQ working with YouTube, Netflix, or Spotify—show that some features should belong to other tools. The goal of an OS is to bundle intuitive functions, not to make everything a chore. An equalizer shouldn’t require excessive effort. That’s more of an obsession for some users. Why not offer tiles as a choice? Rainmeter is another option, but it demands more time than necessary. Except those were low-quality, low-resolution wallpapers—released when most systems struggled with Vista.

Windows 10 is considered a rather slow operating system, and resolving these issues would need major structural changes. It appears Microsoft is not taking enough action, which is disappointing since their primary product continues to face these challenges.

I personally don't think the RAM usage is too high, and it's not a big issue unless you're using very basic systems with under 4GB. In fact, I believe the CPU and disk performance tend to affect users more than RAM did in Windows 7.
