And Win7 Aero looked so good stock I never felt the need to go hunting for themes.

Then the abomination that is Windows 8 came along and took an enormous dump on the party. Windows has been a conundrum to me ever since. It just doesn't feel right anymore like it used to with 2k, XP, and Win7.

I'm a bit sad about the decline, having spent many thousands of hours completely plugged in to Windows.. Every wish, only a click or keystroke away.

Definitely would be awesome if it becomes the placeholder KMS client key (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started...)
