Win 7 was peak. Bonus points for giving option to make it look like Win9x by disabling all eye candy options.

Windows had 3 peaks. 95, xp, and 7.

Now I just use Linux. I know not everyone can, but for everything I do or need to do it all works just fine there so I couldn't be happier.

Everyone can, really. It's not 2002 anymore. Linux has been ready for prime time for some time now. All it lacks is critical mass.

I mean people with tight corporate requirements cannot. Certain headaches with security designations, not all software works great in Linux, even though most do.

My point is there's no required savvyness like it used to a couple decades ago.

A corporation is arguably best positioned to make the transition. The one I work at has all their administrative systems as cloud apps. The few production systems that run native can be run in a Citrix or RDP environment. Even now, with user stations running Windows, these systems are accessed through RDP for... reasons anyway.
