One of the definitions of “popular” is going to blow your mind.

Well, it's popular not because of demand but because Win7 is ancient. In the old times there were utilities that copied win2k binaries into a winNT4 install to add features like new directX, I wonder if that is still possible on win7

I have never understood why people still like 7.

I thought it was decent when I last used it, but Win 10 is much better.

7 is fairly ugly and has a lot of missing stuff for 10.
