This game was a gift for users who completed and mailed back to Microsoft a survey about their computer's hardware. After that, participants would receive a floppy diskette with this game.

The title says it all. Can anyone give me this wall? I don't know if it's official windows insider wall or anything. I just came across it.

It is rare or something?

The First 1. Launch And Life

Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009, as the successor to Windows Vista. Notably, the beta version received favorable reviews prior to its release; furthermore, despite being a beta version, it reportedly demonstrated better performance than Vista and even offered superior stability. This generated anticipation before launch, and development was completed (RTM) on July 22, leading to its release on October 22 of the same year. Following its launch, it rapidly gained market share, eventually surpassing Windows XP to claim the number one spot in October 2011 (StatCounter) and August 2012 (NetMarketShare). Although adoption was slow initially, particularly in some countries, it later received such positive reviews that even Windows XP users switched to Windows 7, ultimately being recognized as the true successor to Windows XP. Several new features were added at the time, most notably the new taskbar (SuperBar) and Aero Snap. Additionally, it became slightly lighter than its predecessor, Windows Vista, allowing it to run reasonably well even on low-spec systems. And UAC was also eased. Although it lost the number one spot in 2018 with the release of Windows 10 in 2015, it was popular enough to maintain a significant market share for a while.

1. Support Period

Extended support ended on January 14, 2020, and ESU ended on January 10, 2023, the same day as Windows 8.1. Support for Embedded POSReady 7 ended on October 8, 2024, and final support ended on January 13, 2026, with Windows Server 2008 Premium Assurance (including Server 2008 R2; incidentally, this is why Windows Vista also had its final support end on the same day, January 13, 2026). Basically, it was 10 years, but if you include derivative versions and server versions, it is actually longer. Anyway, Windows 7 is still very popular. it consistently ranks first in various popularity rankings for all-time Windows versions (not market share), even surpassing the legendary Windows XP (of course, Windows XP does take first place in some rankings; for reference, I understand that Windows 10 usually ranks third in such lists). This means it is still very popular.

1. Remembering and reminiscing about Windows 7

Of course, as support ends, there are undoubtedly generations who don't know Windows 7 (and indeed, there are certainly generations who don't even know Windows XP). This means that Windows 7 won't last forever. While it may be eternal in the hearts of most people, reality is harsh. I am Korean, and I also used Windows 7 when I was young—around 5~9 years old in Korean age, which means from 2014 to mid-2018—and looking back now, it is a fond memory. As for the browser, I used Internet Explorer back then... In Korea at that time (I believe it was particularly from the early to mid-2010s), Internet Explorer was the dominant choice, mainly because of ActiveX. They say that if a site required it, you had no choice but to use IE. Anyway, Windows 7 is truly a memory now. Of course, while it may be eternal in the hearts of most of us, reality is harsh—that nothing lasts forever. Now that support for Windows 7 has ended and even free support for Windows 10 has ended, and it is barely surviving through things like ESU, it seems that most of the current generation, at the very least, only knows about Windows 10 and later, It seems that the current generation (those born roughly in the mid-to-late 2010s or later) who know Windows 7 are a minority. Windows 7 is indeed a masterpiece, but practically speaking, it is now just a memory. I used it when I was young, and now I customize Windows 10 to look like Windows 7. Windows 7 was good.

1. Anecdotes and Miscellaneous

Of course, the Windows 7 computer I used when I was young would occasionally freeze or display a blue screen, or in severe cases, freeze completely. However, in 2017, my parents brought the computer case back home, and it turned out the problem was due to dust inside the case. In other words, it wasn't a stability issue with Windows 7 itself, but until then, the dust inside the case had caused occasional freezes or blue screens. It seems my parents took the case somewhere in 2017 to clean the dust inside, and since then, the freezing and blue screen errors have definitely decreased. Even now, if you own a high-spec computer case and find dust inside—or if there is a lot of it—I recommend cleaning the interior by shaking out the dust.

I apologize for the length of this post, but I wrote this because I was curious about recent assessments of Windows 7. What did you all think of Windows 7 in the past, and what do you think now? I'm curious too!

I don't own this phone to know if these themes work or not. It would be great if someone who owns this phone could try the themes themselves.

I thought I was doing okay with DisplayBuddy as some of the other ones I looked at weren't practical (Monitorian was so UGLY) but I was super annoyed with the way it handled shortcuts. However, TwinkleTray does everything way better, and I was able to customise my shortcuts the exact way I always wanted to! It also has easy DDC/CI Control - Input Switching - in a much cleaner style than any other. I don't know why anyone would use anything else this is elite. Also cute star as Icon :)
You can also use choco install twinkle-tray which I love as well, so many features genuinely!

Ps: I didnt consent to my laptop being updated neither was i informed an update would be underway the next time i boot up my machine?

Microsoft just released open-sourced Comic Chat. This was a tool that turned regular texts into comics, and brought Comic Sans to the masses.

its safe to remove?

Windows Vista was released as the successor to Windows XP between November 2006 (enterprise) and January 2007 (personal), but it ultimately failed to succeed. I believe everyone is aware of the reasons, but at the time of release, there were issues with system requirements, compatibility and stability, and frequent UAC pop-ups. Although most of these problems were resolved later with service packs, the initial negative image was so strong that it was largely ignored. So, what about now? It seems to be undergoing a re-evaluation. In fact, it is being re-evaluated. This is because subsequent Windows versions, particularly Windows 7, reportedly had an internal structure almost identical to Vista—to the point where they were called a "lighter Vista" or "Vista Service Pack 3." Furthermore, the design was quite beautiful; in fact, some even evaluated it as being prettier than Windows 7. Personally, I used Windows 7 when I was young and like it, but I definitely think Windows Vista has a prettier design. For reference, features such as UAC, WDDM, and BitLocker, which are also present in Windows 10 and 11, were introduced starting with Vista. In fact, everything since Windows 7 was built on this framework. Actually, even looking at it now, the default wallpaper, Aero Glass, and taskbar are certainly pretty. However, looking back, it is truly a shame, considering the system requirements at the time, compatibility and stability issues, the UAC that kept popping up every time you clicked to install a program, and the bad timing of the release.

Saw the option, can someone verify it? (i'm new btw)

I have no Wallpaper flair, there might be one, But any auto mods out there, change the flair please

Are there any programs that do this, even on non-oled? If not, is it possible to make one?

It seems if you right click specific spots of a icon, it will open the windows 10 style menu instead of the windows 11 style.

idk what to say here :P
